English — Another Brick in the Wall The paragraph is a brick which forms the foundation of a com- position. said Connie Goodwin, Senior English teacher. A large composition was written on Macbeth as Seniors translated Elizabethan English to how we talk. Seniors exited the room with a loaded notebook on the meaning of Macbeth. Seniors could not help but feel a pang of sympathy for the poor juniors, when, under the close scrutiny of Linda Heathington and lay Brown, they slaved to com- plete the dreaded junior Theme during the alotted six weeks. As preparation, Mrs. Heathington focused on writing and coherently recording ideas on paper, while Mr. Brown combined early American literature and grammar. Sophomore English classes - spent the year reading the play Julius Caesar and studying short stories and poetry. Susan Lake led a field trip to Odessa to see a Shakespeare play and a reproduc- tion of the Globe Theater. CherryI Hill tried to help prepare her freshman English classes for the years ahead by teaching them the proper way to write. A unit was studied in short story preparation for their first taste of Shakespeare, the play Romeo and Juliet. From the brick of the paragraph to the wonders of Shakespeare, English students have built a for- tress to meet the world.

Library The Meeting Place The library, efficiently run by Sara Simpson, has been the ideal place to escape from the tur- bulence of classroom activities. When anyone went into the library, he was greeted by the sight of either Mrs. Simpson or one of her many library aides quietly reorganizing the books to make room for new arrivals, or getting some donated paperbacks on the shelves. Cleaning up after Junior Themes was one of the dir- ty jobs that remained after crazed Juniors had assaulted an unsuspec- ting library. The card catalogue was reorganized facilitating students ability to locate books quickly and easily in the library.

Foreign Languages Culture Invades Classroom The high point of the year for Linda Heathington's Spanish classes was their field trip to Amarillo for the play Los Titeres de Cachiporra. The study of foods from Spanish countries took up a large part of the year while Spanish I studied the customs of Spanish speaking countries. Spanish II and Spanish III learned some Spanish games such as bingo and scrabble. Watching lots of Spanish films helped students to learn the language, and they had lots of oral and written practice in the language. In French classes, Connie Good- win put emphasis on teaching students vocabulary. They learned only two verbs, but they learned many groupings such as numbers, furniture, and animals.
