OFFICE AND LIBRARY Gertrude Kaufman Marian Scigman Mrs. C, R. Steinhoff E .nl s I K Mrs. D. S. Smith Iven Case Ruth Mingle Mrs. E. lj. Bennett EVER in the history of Heights has the office staff been so small in proportion to the amount of work to be accomplished. Miss Kauf- man, Mrs. Smith, and Miss Seigman were relieved considerably when Mrs. Steinhoff lent her assistance during the second semester. A great asset to the whole office has been Mrs. Sedory, Miss Whitsey's secretary. Everything, varying from answering telephone calls, and typing bulletins and PA. an- nouncements, to filing records and making out pro- gram cards has been completed successfully this year by a very eflicient oflice group. In the Library, Miss Mingle has been helping Miss Case with her usual numerous tasks. Besides, being indispensable to every Heights student in his quest of books or other vital material, they have made special reports for clubs and English class- rooms. In this way, they have enabled pupils to acquaint themselves with new books. The student body has found these two genial at every moment and they deserve much credit for their able assist- ance. Miss Kaufman lends an ear.

ADMINISTRATION Mr. Morley HEN school started last September, Heights students found it difficult to adjust them- selves to the various changes that the administration had planned for the new school year. It had been obvious that too much time was Wasted by Heights students. Consequently, keeping in step with pres- ent wartime conditions, a strict program with more time devoted to studies was agreed upon. Certainly no other year has brought forth so many changes in our school life. It has been diflicult for the present administra- tion to meet with the unavoidable circumstances which have arisen frequently this year and still keep the school running smoothly. With the loss of Mr. Meier, additional responsibilities fell upon the shoulders of Mr. Wiley, Mr. Morley, Mr. Flint, Miss Wallace, and Miss Whitsey. They have met numerous problems and have succeeded in accom- plishing much. Their tasks have varied greatly and became more numerous as the year progressed. With cooperation in each piece of Work, they have succeeded in keeping Heights running efficiently. The student body owes a great deal of thanks to an able administration which has made it possible to complete another successful year in Heights' history. 12 Mr. Wiley Mr. I'lint Miss Wallace Miss Whitsey

ENGLISH DEPARTMENT HE largest department at Heights, with a staff of sixteen capable instructors, is the English Department headed by Miss Mason. Of all the studies at Heights, it is this field which offers the largest variety of courses. Aside from the regular six-semester course, News Writing, Journalism. Public Speaking, Modern Lit and Dramatics are offered for English credit. Completion of English I, II, 8 IH is essential for graduation and in the three remaining semesters, three other English credits are required, the courses, however, are elective. Sophomore English includes syntax, a study of some of the great works of literature, such as 'AThe House of the Seven Gables , and a study of oral expression. During the speech unit a round- up is held once a week, which is a gathering of the English classes in the Little Theatre to hear those speeches which have been selected as the best. At the end of CH English, a speech contest is held for excellence in the spoken word. Medals are pre- sented to the winners, one each to a boy and a girl. Junior and Senior English include a study of grammar, some classics such as Uldylls of the King and Burke's Speech On Conciliation , and a study of literature ranging from Beowulf and Chaucer to Kipling and Stevenson. It is evident that upon completion of the entire English course offered the student will have acquired a full, well-rounded knowledge of the subject.
