MRS. SUE PROPST FRYE Thinking, Reading, and Writing MR. JERRY L. AUSTIN English I, II One of the familiar sounds at H. H. S. was the plaintive cry of one student asking another how many pages he still had to read in the book currently being read in his English class. These books were read to enrich the students background in literature and to further acquaint him with the world of books, ranging from Shane, Anna and the King-Q Siam, to David Copgerfield, and Hamlet. In the freshman and sophomore years, world literature was studied, however, in the junior and senior years the study became specialized. All juniors studyAmerican literature and its various phases while seniors study British literature and A. B. , Lenoir Rhyne College Advisor to: Beta Club MRS. PATRICIA SCHELL ANNAS A.

Enghsh Sumulates Excltement 1I'1 Itntlldndllil English students found Mrs. Tester's lectures very interesting and informative. Mrs. Gilley, our new librarian, processed 268 new books and added them to our library last fall. Two tape recorders, two film-strip and slide projectors, a record player, and several albums ranging from the works of William Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe to the music of Rodgers and Hammerstein were also added to the library. Library science was offered to those students who were in- terested in learning the fundamentals of operating a library. Mrs. Hood helped her students to appreciate their literary heritage by the use of audio-visual aids su as the record player. MRS ALICE VICTORIA GILLEY MRS SARA E MOORE

In both the French and Spanish classrooms, records and the tape recorders w ere used to help the students with the phonetics of the language and gave them an opportunity to use correct grammar. The use of many supplementary materials made the language become more alive for the student. Students who took Latin were not only learning a foreign language but also English, history, mathematics, and science as well. Regardless of his choice, t he student believed that he wasnot truly educated until he had learned another man's language and had studied his heritage . 30 NOT PICTURED MRS. MANUEL J. RABINA Ph.
