FAR FROM schoolrooms and students Mr. Borgerding concentrates in a world of literature. CERTAINLY I'M RIGHT, argues Pete Myhre as he debates with Mr. Roman Borgerding (English Department Chairman; English 10, 11, 12) about a short story. Mr. Borgerding led his classes in open discussion on everything. Contention Highlights Bah! Humbug! Charles Dickens had nothing on Tim Ewald as Tim barrelled into his English paper entitled Humbug. With another of Mr. Borger-ding's dreaded experimental papers due, the Juniors handed in creative and interesting etymologies of words ranging from avenue to phobia. Poems, contemporary writings, and classical works were on the year's agenda for both Seniors and Juniors. Opaque projectors, record players, and movie projectors were all used to help that old standby, the English teacher, in his effort to cover broader subject areas. Following the organization of the English staff into a departmentalized system in 1962-'63, glimpses of things to come were frequently seen. Faculty members brought back current information after convention trips to such places as Miami and Louisville. This information was then applied to GV classrooms. Early in the spring, the library book shelves were supplemented by the addition of a paperback book store. Without having to worry about paying library fines, students bought and read books other than those which were required for class reading. The use of a tape recorder allowed class members to present interpretive readings from To Kill A Mockingbird and games helped them to gain composure before an audience. 22

Constitute Dawn to Dusk Days ty requisitions were a continual order of business as the Council effectively directed school activities throughout the year. The Senior Joy Boys stole the show and the Skit Award as they again enraptured hundreds at a pep fest with their cheerleading renditions of old favorites like Oski Waw Waw. Trollhaugen's slopes saw Sno-Day and the regular return of Vikings to the world of gentle snow and broken skis. The event featured an early morning hot chocolate breakfast and the polite refusal of chaperones to wear the painstakingly prepared Ski Patrol bibs. An innovation was provided by crack of dawn yawns one Tuesday, when four hearty souls ventured into the fog for a day at Orono, courtesy of their Student Council. A similar trek to U-High was organized, and both schools responded by returning the visits. The call of the outdoors seemed to be the rage, for neither sleet nor snow, hail nor rain could keep Council flag raisers from hoisting Old Glory at morning's break.

 DON'T GET NERVOUS, advises Patricia Neill (English; Speech I, II; Senior Choir; Junior Choir) as she helps prepare Roger Hick, Tom Koch, Gerry Nordley, and Dick Peters for the Optimists' Oratorical Contest. English, Speech IS HE SCRATCHING? No, Dick Merwin is acting out We Could Make Beautiful Music Together for a game of charades in speech class. The speech students also added zest to class by playing Password. 23 SPICING up his speech, Gary Visser demonstrates the art of frying a hamburger, but whether it will satisfy his appetite is nor known.
