English teachers, Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Payne, Mrs. Niman, Miss Vermillon, Miss Wright, Mr. Wall, Mr. Sullins, Mr. Dietz, Mr. Baumgardner, and Mrs. Baumgardner convene in the library. Our language extends from aardvark to zyzzogeton, and in between lies all the work of the English Depart- ment. Eleven members of the faculty belong to this ex- tremely important department. All students are required to successfully complete five semesters of grammar and five semesters of literature. The first three semesters of literature give students sam- plings in both old and new literature. Juniors study American literature while seniors survey English prose and poetry. All classes are taught spelling every week and library science once each year. Advanced work for enterprising students is provided through Public Speak- ing, Advanced Composition, and World Literature Classes.

New equipment has been received and a new physics book adopted. Keeping abreast of progress, yet teaching a solid base of fundamentals, is the never ending challenge enthusiastically answered by our competent instructors: Mrs. McCann and Mrs. Kephart, biologyg Mrs. Davis, general science, Mr. Echols, earth scienceg Mrs. Vance physical scienceg Mr. Firkin, chemistry, and Mr. Scholz, physics. Each not only guides us through the worlds of science but also adds his own personal emphasis. For example, Mr. Scholz aids his students' understanding of physics by emphasizing mathematics and graphs. Hmm! One loose apple plus one deranged old scientist . . . mumbles Gene Harrison as he cracks a gravity experiment. 33

Miss Wright, they're calling you to the office for being a bad girl, says Ronnie Holden to his teacher. Mrs. Myers. Why don't they laugh at my jokes? wonders Mr. Baumgardner as jo Ann Shockey, Sally Kaufman, and Linda Buc- hanan continue studying. Maybe Macbeth was a little odd after all reflects 35
