Bev Pomeroy is studying intently. Nlini-Courses Quarterly mini-courses proved to be the start of something new in Edison's English depart- ment this year. Each student selected four mini-courses which combined, were compara- ble to one year of English. The courses, each lasting nine weeks and given one fourth of a credit, were open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The mini-courses consisted of a wide variety, ranging from the uncut American cul- ture of the wild west to the mythological mysteries of Pandora's Box. The staff teaching this new program con- sisted of Miss Phyllis Frost, Mr. David Kile, Miss Sophia Purcell, Mr. Steven Schauer, and Mr. Flex Stanforth. The teachers favored these courses as they provided variety for the stu- dents . They also chose the courses which they were most qualified to teach such as com- mincations, drama, or literature. The majority of the students enjoyed the mini-courses be- cause they chose what they were interested in and thought they would enjoy learning. The mini-courses were introduced when the teachers in the English department discussed the possibilities of offering more variety to the students. With limiting the classes to nine weeks, the teachers felt they could cover the various subjects adequately and provide enough material for the students to learn about each subject. 180!Mini-Courses Books are being carted to class by Mr. Schauer Are Experimental MISS SOPHIA PURCELL - B.S. in Educ. from Ohio State University Master of Arts from Ohio State University: Sophomore Class Adviser Adviser of SPIRIT and REFLECTIONS.

Business Utilizes Materials Increasing utilization of mate- rials available was the central goal of the business classes at Edison this year. Mrs. Sue Holder and Mrs. Margery Lindecamp felt that the greater a student's knowledge in the economics of life also greater were his chances of success in whatever his chosen field may be. There was a variety of business courses at Edison including typ- ing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business law, notehand, and general business. Although there were no new materials pur- chased, time was spent in increas- ing the depth and education to coincide with its increasing value in the business world. MRS.
