ENGLISH DEPARTMENT English is one of the most important subjects taught in all schools. Without a good knowledge of our language, we would not be able to communicate very well. The English Department this year had a few changes under the direction of Mr. Root. The department added two new oourses this year - Literary Interpretation, and Improved Reading, for the Senior High School Students. The only new teacher to the English Department this year was Mr. Ewing from Pontiac. The English Staff hopes to offer oourses that will suit every student's abilities and needs. ABOVE - MR. MICHAEL EWING began his first year at Homer. RIGHT - MR. ARTHUR WELCH enjoys reading magazines. 20

The 1970-71 Science Department was headed by Mr. Blair and because science is becoming increasingly important, a wide variety of courses were offered for the students this year. The Science Department added some new equipment this year which included: microscopes, dissecting equipment, and specimens which were no longer packed in formaldehyde. Shades were added to one room for films. Eventually, the staff wishes to have the gas working in every room so that experiments will be more easy. 27 MR. BERNARD FARLEY completed his first year here teaching Science courses. Students listen carefully as MR. BLAIR checks for winter-kill on a Red Haven peach tree.
