Four 0'Clock Coffee Participation in activities other than teaching was a welcome break for the faculty. During the yuletide season, our faculty was entertained at the annual Christmas tea. Delicious cookies and breads baked by home economics stu- dents and fragrant coffee supplied the necessary background for a pleasant hour of relaxation and conversation spent with busy fellow workers. Camera bugs among the teachers were de- lighted when the art department presented a show- ing of the i958 Eastman Kodak High School Photo Salon, Sixty-four prints were on display and re- freshments were served, Other get-togethers in the form of card clubs and informal visits were common among the teach- ers though they sometimes found that spare moments became scarce during certain times of the year. IH' ,- 9 he-.cs We ,. CHRISTMAS cookies, made by the Home economics classes and served to the teachers, are enioyed by Mr, Hansen. CAMERA FANS, Mrs. Kopish and Mr. Janson, discuss the adwlrltflges and disadvantages of a German made camera. i

JV N Remember racing through the woods with Jody and Flag, and hauling down the jib aboard the old l-lispanola? These are some of the memorable literary experiences we re- call from our study of English and English literature. By meeting l-luck Finn on his adventures, stalking the notorious Long John Silver and following Evangeline's pilgrimage in seventh and eighth grades, we began to read some of our first classics. Later, now knowing how to conjugate verbs and diagram sentences, we studied plays and the theater, confronting Abe Lincoln in Illinois and Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony in the Forum. Does David marry Dora? What are the characteristics of a good newspaper editorial? You said it was past perfect passive subjunc- tive? We found the answers to these questions in junior and senior English where we looked at the construction of a newspaper, completed our study of grammar and read more world and American literature. In recent years, we noticed parallels be- tween the history we found in literature and that which we had studied in our other classes, Also, the papers and themes which were re- quired in other classes were much easier to write after having studied procedures in Eng- lish. Thus, we have been able to apply know- ledge gained in our English classes to all other subjects and have realized the importance of the English department.
