Advanced English Is Offered to Accelerated Students Man ' s most expressive form of communication to his fellow lies in his ability to form thoughts imagin¬ atively and independently, to co-ordinate these ideas intelligently, and transform them to a written work on paper. History is recorded, science is advanced, mathematical theories are expounded, and political ideologies are introduced through the written ac¬ counts of man ' s beliefs. The function of an English teacher in today ' s schools and institutes is to provide tomorrow ' s scientists and leaders ith this ability to compose their thoughts on paper for the benefit of others. GHS is keyed to this purpose through its English program, allowing for advanced students to express their ideas in debates, compositions, poetry, and es¬ says. Accelerated classes have been picked for sopho¬ more, junior, and senior scholars who show potential in this area and are given special attention by their English teachers. In Miss Grant ' s advanced English classes, the genius of William Shakespeare is studied through texts, films, records, and discussions. Miss Hicks ' composi¬ tion groups relate the concepts of modern practice to daily life during lively panel debates every Friday, and Mrs. Julia Brown explores the realm of prose and poetry in sophomore literature classes. English teachers also encourage students to work with the staffs of the annual, school paper, and lit¬ erary magazine. 22

Aid Is Given by Counselors, All GHS students planning to attend college are carefully screened and counseled by Mrs. Balkcum and Mr. McNerney from their sopho¬ more through their senior years. Mrs. Balk¬ cum gives invaluable aid to those taking the SAT, National Merit Scholarship Test, and any college achievement tests necessary. Ded¬ icated to the success of all students, Mrs. Balkcum helps each student channel his abil¬ ities to the future. Librarian Mrs. Getsinger continues to serve the high school as librarian, working to enlarge the facilities of the library. She feels that the work the administration is doing to obtain more volumes for the school will greatly benefit GHS students. Top left: Mrs. Balkcum counsels students.
