English teachers students honored Modern-day schools have become stu- dent-oriented, with courses designed to fit the needs and interests of pupils. This model is the one followed by North ' s English departiTient which offers elective literature courses. After completing a basic core course, students place themselves into ability levels and interest groupings, dealing with reading which should fit just about any person ' s in terest area. Courses range from what some students consider morbid sub- jects to more lighthearted ideals and ideas. Several students also made the traditional trip to the Shakespearean Festival in Canada prior to school in the summer of 1979. Most of the students were from levels one and two of sophomore English. Others were in- vited to attend when not enough soph- omores signed up for the trip. Chaperones included Miss Shirlev Lvster. English de- partment chairman: Mr. Robert Sheedy. so- cial studies department chairman; Miss Mar- ian Gallon, Dean of Girls: and Mr. Joe Tower. English teacher and drama coach. Six faculty members from the department traveled to San Francisco at the request of the National Council for Teachers of English and presented a program there. The teachers. Miss Lyster, Mr. Robert Crawl. Mrs. Helen Ahlemeyer. Mr. Dennis Lindsev. Mr. Tower and Mr. Dennis Orwin. made the presentation at the convention. The pr o- gram was entitled ' English Offensive: A Three Ring Circus.
