Striving for Better Learnin With an advancing and changing world, the English department continued to fulfill the expectations of graduating students from C.D.O. The department featured courses which helped prepare the student for the iob market or to ready him for college. This year, the advanced English programs for Soph- omores and Freshmen were discontinued due to a school board mandate. John Weismiller, head of the department, hopes the program will be contin- ued the following year. Yearbook was also reins- tated as one-half year English credit for all Juniors, Seniors, and Editors. The class hadn't been an Eng- lish credit for the past two years. Chris Wallace and Mirian Morgan were two new additions to the staff, although they weren't new faces around the school. Mrs. Wallace, who taught sophomore English and media classes, was a substi- tute teacher at Canyon for two years. Ms. Morgan, after a one year absence, returned as advisor of the Palantir, the school newspaper. These different varieties of courses from which the students could choose, said Mr. Weismiller, provided a rich experience for the students. 5 ? X-i-TVX' . 2 24 I English

People and Customs Expressing thoughts in speech and writing was one of the main obiectives of the Foreign Language Department. Courses were designed to help stu- dents communicate in a foreign language. Emphasis was placed on the development of the student's ability to comprehend what they heard directly without translation. Conversational Spanish, a new course, was for stu- dents with two previous years of Spanish. Dialogues and written work composed the classroom activities. Spanish Two also received a new textbook which enabled the teachers and students to work with up to date material. Students from the German classes along with some students from other schools in the area, took a trip to West Germany during the sum- mer. The students stayed in youth hostels and attended some school classes. They visited the cities of Cologne, Hannover, and West Berlin, lt was such a great success that the German class have planned to do it again this summer. The more advanced Spanish classes were able to take a number of field trips. Among the places they visited were the Phoe- nix Museum of Art. L 26 f Foreign Language
