The scratching of the senior spotlight was one of many changes made concerning the news- paper this year. Curtis Arbuckle, the editor of the Eagle, was the person mainly responsible for making the alteration. (Photo by Dale Hogg) One of the tasks performed by the newspaper staff as the deadline approaches is to lay out the paper. Dale Hogg splices a story to fit the copy space.

English Handwriting analyzed A few days of English IV were spent in the library on a chronology project. Students had selected authors and used the library as an area of research. Chris Kincaid notes his new- ly researched knowledge. (Photo by Robin Buckbee) English students Jay Ingalls and Kevin Doll put their ideas on paper while writing a com- position. Doll and his family moved during mid-school year back to their former home, Oakley. (Photo by Michelle Branson) On January 11, Mrs. Frances Es- field visited the English III and IV classes of Mrs. Nancy Converse. Mrs. Esfield demonstrated the art of handwriting analysis, or graphoana- lysis. Thinking speed, reading compre- hension, and mathematical and me- chanical abilities were determined following a handwriting improve- ment project. Mrs. Esfield, a gra- phoanalyst since 1961, is president of the Kansas Chapter. In English II, a Quasar video re- play system was incorporated into the curriculum of Mr. Tony Furse. Being a new addition, the system was used to view the anti-Nazi presenta- tion, “The Wave.” This change in Mr. Furse’s teaching technique also allowed the students to watch the television production of Of Mice and Men, besides reading the novel. Twentieth Century Popular Cul- ture students, taught by Mr. Mike Westerman, went to the Starr An- tique store to look at a collection of magazine advertisements, ranging from the early 1900’s to the sixties. Study time is used wisely by Blake Wells in first year English. One must employ time well for completion of assignments.
