Best Efforts Throughout school, teachers had asked the students to put forth their best efforts. Once a quarter, Mr. Friend, ninth grade English teacher, asked his students to put forth their best efforts in the form of a single or multiparagraph com- position. Before the students at- tempted to write the paper, Mr. Friend explained the type of com- position, the length, and the sub- ject. The students wrote several rough drafts and, at last the final copy. After the papers had been corrected, Mr. Friend, along with many other English teachers who participated in the “Best Effort Paper Program” took an example of a low, average, and high grade paper to a school wide meeting and discussed teaching methods and ideas. Mr. Friend achieved his goal in getting his students to put forth their best efforts through composition. Jim AbbOtt-Exploring Technology and Basic Technical Drawing. Cross Country Asst. Coach.

Nancy Bard-Media Coordinator, AV club Harry Holsinger-Assistant Principal Mike Wade-Assistant Principal of Administrative Services Bob Carson-Director of Student Activites When controlling a school the size of Lake Braddock, one was bound to run into problems. Eliminating the problem of communication was the goal of Mr. John Alwood. Mr. Alwood along with Nancy Bard, Bob Carson, Harry Holsinger, and Mike Wade decided that homeroom would solve a great part of the problem. Homeroom was held once a week, usually on Mondays, to relay general informa- tion, such as student picture dates and club announcements, to the student body. On the days homeroom was held, it replaced the fifteen minute break for high school students and the fifteen minute Teacher Advisory period for intermediates. Many teachers felt homeroom helped bridge the com- munication gap between the ad- ministration and the students. Faculty 199
