Enrichment Through English: Advance One Square Every year the English teachers try their utmost to make their classes more interesting. Some of this year's English classes are rather unconven- tional and as a result have very en- thusiastic students. fTlrs. Shipp's Applied Creativity students sometimes wonder about her sanity when she assigns very unusual projects but all agree that the class is never boring. Honors English is a new course for freshmen who are especially adept in the subject and is designed to help them reach their potential. Various literature classes help to enrich students' knowledge and to give them a background in many cultures and styles of writing. From Basic Comp to Business English to Science Fiction, all classes offer students challenge, change, and a chance for advancement in the vast subject of English. (1) Jim Hoffmann captures the attention of the grade school children as he reads the book he wrote for Basic Comp (2) In 20th Century Authors. Elaine Majchers finds a question difficult and looks to Dan Zaremba for help (3) Eric Moening gives a sales pitch on his product for Speech class and hopes for an enthusiastic response .academics.. .academics. . .academics.. .academics.. .academics.. .academics.. .academics.. .academi 23

Divine Child students are patiently attempting to find similiarities between triangles, to puzzle through proofs and postulates and to discover the value of the unknown X . Teachers are instructing future scholars with warmth and understanding while helping young minds to grasp complicated rules and procedures. H se- cond advantage is the variety of courses being offered to those possessing various desires and capabilities in the mathematics field. Algebra classes offer students various methods in which to find an equality for X. moving onward, a se- cond unknown is added, the unknown Y. Once the pupils have mastered logic skills, they can continue with sharpened pencils to Geometry classes. Now the brave and adventurous are given chances to test their resources when meeting cosines and tangents. After a lot of hard work and a few tears, the proud students reflect on what they've learned and decide that they're smarter than they thought. Just what is the value the of the unknown 'X'? DC students determine that if the unknown X is a mathematics class, its value equals a better knowledge of complex figures and numbers, and also an important lesson in learning. (1) A studious Bcrnie Boruta takes time to brush up on her math skills, using the open facilities of the math lab (2) Its not all fun and games to Mary McCarthy when geometry is at hand (3) Deep in thought.
