Show and tell in English? Show and tell for sophomores? Back to kindergarten already? This doesn't sound strange for students who took Russ Croop's Language Development classes. They all had to do show and tell at least once during the se- mester. They brought in something, or told the class about something of interest to them, and what they thought would be interesting to the class. To make the students feel more at ease, Mr. Croop presented a show and tell of his own each Friday. To begin with, he brought in a few of his exceptional pho- tographs and told about each one of them, why he took them and what inspires him to take the pictures. The next week he brought in some of his paintings done on canvas. Soon after, he brought more paintings, but this time, done on shirts and other articles of clothing. An- other time, his students listened to him and some of his friends sing and play guitar on a recorded tape and also heard some short stories he had written. When asked what some of the interesting things his students brought in he said, Well, things weren't as in- teresting as they have been in previous years, but some were really good. I think the best was a six foot Python named Monty. Get it? Monty Python? He also went on to tell about some other things that were brought in: racing bikes, button collections, pictures of vacations, a carburator, Dungeons and Dragons figures, a ferret, a dog, a cat, a rabbit, and a hamster. Probably the funniest was, laughed Croop, the guy who brought a friend in, to show and tell about!

f ,. 73 .. English is foreign It is 'isn't' not 'ain't'! Fairview's English department has been strug- gling for many years to correct the grammar of its students. The teach- ers have banded together to fight the endless battle against run-on sentences, misspelled words, and of course dangling participles.
