LEARNING THE SKILLS entitled Goodbye to the Clown . Miss Kathi Wood was the advisor for the an- nual staff, and her students learned how to create and produce a school yearbook. For grammar and literature, students were expected to present speeches on various topics as well as compositions and outlines. It was also standard for students to master sentence structure, phrases and clauses, and vocabulary. One could not make it through life with- out these skills. The objective of the teachers was to make students inter- ested in learning by organizing logical relationships for one’s better under- standing. Miss Karen Stephenson was the head of the English department. She thought it possible to make class fun while still accomplishing certain ob- jectives. Each student was required to com- plete four semesters of literature and four semesters of grammar and com- position. These English classes were based on ability levels of the students. Elective courses included journalism, drama, and annual production. Ms. O’Leary conducted the journalism class which produced six issues of the school newspaper, Hi-Jenks. It was Ms. O’Leary’s first year of teaching and the first year in a while in which a class was set up for journalism. Even though she was impressed with her students' abili- ties. Ms. O’Leary hoped to have more interested students in the course. Dra- ma was taught by Ms. Seifferman. She taught three classes ranging from mime and movement to stage plays. Her stage play class performed for the English classes, and also put on a one act play for competition in December Compliments of FI ERAL 26 ENGLISH
