four years of E N G L I S H Free choice ot contemporary or classic books makes reading assignments a pleasure for these students under the Rutgers Plan. Four years of English! When we first enter high school the thought of English for four years makes us squirm. As we progress through the semesters we learn that Miss Edna Dunker, the head of the department, and her staft make the classes enioyable as well as educational. One of the newest additions to the English curriculum is the experimental Rutgers Reading Plan where you will always find books, books, and more books. When we graduate from Fenger we shall thank these teachers for the interest they have shown every student throughout every year.

JOHN J. KEHOE Assistant Principal One of the favorite personalities of Fenger High School is Mr. Kehoe, who is always ready with a ioke or advice. Working hard to educate us, he keeps us on the straight and narrow road. Every student has at one time or another come in contact with Mr. Kehoe and has discovered what a great friend he is to all. Mr. Kehoe frequently stresses the advantage of a high school education and how important it is to each student in the future. He believes that knowledge is received in many ways and as techniques are developed, concepts are learned, coordination is developed, and personalities are improved. As a coordinator of many school activities, Mr. Kehoe has demonstrated to all that he has a thorough knowledge of school procedure. RUTH E. BAKER Assistant Principal Willing to assist the faculty, students, and all those with whom she comes in contact, Miss Ruth E. Baker, our assistant principal, is an essential part of our administrative staff. Though she has many duties they are always performed efficiently. This year Miss Baker was responsible for conducting a complete reorganization of the counseling depart ment. Not only has she served with us, but she has occupied such positions as assistant principal at Harlan and Curtis High Schools and was a member of the curriculum department of the Board of Education Because of her ideals and her emphasis on improving the school, Miss Baker has already contributed a great deal and will also contribute much in the future to make Fenger a truly outstanding school.
