“Books Are A Greater Challenge Than Movies’ The English Department strives to correlate “readin’ and writin”' with everyday events. After students struggle through the transformational grammar and basic composition, teachers ask them, “What does this novel or short story say about mankind?; Do you agree or disagree?; and, of course, that inescapable, “Why?”. Commercials, advertisements, and other elements of mass media are investigated to determine how they have influenced Americans’ thoughts and buying habits. Students have the option of studying literature from different time periods and forming their own conclusions about the effect literature has had on the events of our time. Many students have made one interesting discovery: A movie just does not compare with a well-written novel. This discovery is possible because students have been asked to make the written word “come alive” for themselves through research, projects, and much thought; and they are applying their new-found insights in their everyday lives.

The newly designed and expanded Library and the addition of materials and equipment allowed students to explore varying ways of gaining knowledge. Students could study and work together in small conference rooms. Two microfilm viewer’s were used to read old newspapers, periodicals, and books. A listening table permitted students to listen to records or tapes of reading assignments for classes. For a small fee, students could have papers laminated, or coated with a protective film, on a dry mount press. Typewriters and calculators were also available. The result is a facility which provides ample room and learning resources for our large student body. The Foreign Language Department offers Spanish, German, and an extra-curricular course in Latin. Mrs. Widmann teaches the Spanish courses and Mr. Flegl teaches German and Latin. Mr Flegl (Far Right) heads the Foreign Language and English Departments. Mrs. Fossum (Right) is the newest member of the English department, and the school librarian is Miss Marshall (Above). 1 22 Faculty
