Mrs. Marguerite Karlin Mrs. Jannis Livingston Mrs. Frema Rood X Mrs. Darlene Loiler Mrs. Judith Shapiro This past year has been the most innovative one our de- partment has had, relates Mr. Keefer, department chair- man. Most exciting was the acquisition, with Mr. Milleris help, of a Resource Center. This is the place where the English teachers can pool and share ideas and materials to improve the classroom experience. It also contains re- cordings and filmstrips that help make the classes more in- teresting. In addition, the drama classes have developed a Children's Theater - students going to public libraries and grade schools to perform for the children. Student ac- tors also visit elassrooms in English and Social Studies to put on performances. One group of 10th grade teachers has organized a series of mini courses in their specialties fspeech, journalism, and literaturejf,
