DISCOVERING English students explore novels Seniors went back into time by being able to feel the shame with Hester Prynne, escape down the mississippi with Huckleberry Finn, and anticipate the guilotine with Charles Darnay. Students in English IV got a more concentrated study of cer- tain pieces of classic literature. Nancy Converse and her classes studied books like The Scarlet Letter, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and A Tale of Two Cities. ‘‘I liked Huck Finn the best because that is the way they really talk in Oklahoma,” said senior Brad Stephens. English I students, under Mike Westerman, studied Greek mythology and English grammar. English II students had a new dimension added to the learning process. Instructor John Mohn required his students to read (JSA TODAY once a week and then give a short 30 second report in front of the class. “It forces them to become ac- customed to reading the paper. Also, it is an easy way to help them polish up their public speaking skills, said Mohn. Students in English III, taught by Converse, had the chance to improve grammar skills by working in English 3200. English 3200 is designed to clear up grammar problems that already existed when someone comes into the class. Once com- pleted, it can be applied to im- proving writing and reading skills,” said Converse. Brian Hood Justin Knupp EHS TODAY INST RUCTIONS.

Student teacher takes over During second semester, Ed Sturtz, art instruc- tor, and art students had a change of pace when student teacher, Vicki Folk, worked as teacher and gave assignments. A lot of kids in the art classes showed a lot of potential and seemed interested in what they were doing, said Sturtz. Sturtz emphasized the four disciplines of art: drawing, ceramics, print-making, and painting. Sturtz said, ‘Those are the things professional artists deal with. I feel art is an important thing in our everyday lives. I think if you can learn to ap- preciate good art you can understand the con- struction of nature.” H «h,rchri»i.n«n Allan Zuhars EAGLE SOLDERING.
