MRS. MARY SHEARON Department Chairman English 9, American Civ. “He even spelled his name right on this one!” MRS. JANE BIALAS English Reading was offered as a course for Freshmen, characterized by intensive, individualized team teaching to achieve greater skill in reading. This course was taken for the entire year, but the student was able to transfer out after he had attained his goal in reading accomplishment. Another reading course was offered to 10,11, and 12 graders who wished to improve their reading skills. It was an elective, taken for only one quarter, as any of the thematic choices. Taught by three teachers, two of which varied each nine weeks, the course was individualized to suit the needs of the student. Both skills and speed were taught so that anyone interested in bettering his reading talents would take the course. The English as a Second Language program was developed for foreign students at school. Twenty-two enrolled this year who spoke little or no English at all. ESL was taugh t the same way as any foreign language and helped these students immeasurably. “If Billie Jean could beat Bobby in tennis, I can cream you in football.” MRS.
