East and North modernize and Four separate schools demanded new approaches to teaching, necessitating the adaptation of East and North English Departments to a different type of curriculum. Chairmen were named from each school, but the entire de- partment remained under the supervision of Mr. Clarence Hach. . The English Department in North School was headed by Mrs. Barbara Pannwitt, and in East School by Miss Mary Jane Richeimer. Mr. Robert Lumsden, in the newly created position of Composition Co-ordinator, lectured to English classes in all four schools on expository writing, saving English teachers the time they would normally spend preparing composition lectures. B Attitudinal changes toward language, an extension of the language program, and a unit in which students ex- amine the language of special groups, culminated in the compilation of a hiptionary, a dictionary of t'hip lan- guage used by teenagers. Small group discussions encouraged learning through personal contact, whereas large group meetings were used primarily for lectures and movies. synchronize English Department Clarence Hach, Michael Bennett Priscilla Boaz Marie Davis Helen Martell John Reque Marian Roth An author's technique is the subject of discussion in Mrs. Marie Davis' Creative Writing class.

Marcia Levin Beverly Page William Schlagetter ' ' gf Lf' im S George Seidenbecker Lina Spaulding Robert Workman Susan Zeiser As a result of the division of ETHS, the South and West School English Departments named a chairman to head their respective departments. Mrs. Betty White supervised the South School English Department, and Mr. Eugene Stern, who was new to Evanston this year, headed the department in West School. English teachers gained valuable time by issuing take- home exams. In addition, students were required to view filmstrips, listen to recordings, and use the microfilm readers and printers in the library during unscheduled time. Class activities included lectures, seminar discussions, and large group projects. Shorter class time placed more re- sponsibility on the student for completing his assignments and learning outside of his class. All tenth grade classes were involved for the first time in a lexicology-lexicography unit in which the grammar of the word and a more detailed knowledge of how a dictionary is compiled were stressed. Using an overhead projector, Mr. Mearl Dodge illustrates the theme of a short story to his 2 English 3 class. .
