English Strives to Meet Individual Needs The ENGLISH department, headed by Mrs. Margarete Cantrell, strives to develop in each student an interest and understanding of speech, literature, and writing. Broaden- ing student interests and experience in the cultural life of the past and present is a very real goal of the department. At the freshman and sophomore levels, courses are di- vided into skills improvement, general, and honors English, while at the junior and senior levels, students may elect to take regular or college preparatory English. Programs are available by which a semester of speech, debate, or a year of journalism may be taken to fill the graduation require- ments of four years of English. English teachers moot in an informal planning session. Margarcto A. Cantrell, M.A. English IV—Department Hoad Book Club 8etty Leo Chessman, M.A. English III. Latin I. II High Life. Latin Club Lois C.

Guidance Initiates Qeveral New Programs Because the world today puts so much emphasis on edu- cation. the work of high-school guidance experts has become ever more significant to students. With full comprehension of their difficult roles as ad- visors. members of the GUIDANCE department inaugurated a new approach to traditional methods this year. A new program places a proportionate number of sophomores, juniors, and seniors under the guidance of each counselor. The freshman class was divided among Mr. Pogue, Mr. Corr. Mr. Ingles, and Mr. Lind in order to experiment with large and small group counseling. Also, the head of the department. Mr. Leon Pogue, began an early program for the completion of next year’s class schedules. These changes provide for increased efficiency to aid both stu- dents and counselors.
