English Furnishes Thread to Communication - 'V fil 14 E Q-.:,iI.z33gt! li, ' :fr .i ' ' W i iiiiii V. , .ji . Karen Turner English, Dramatics Coach, Nat'l Thesps. Adviser All man's achievements were traceable to one simple, basic factor: the ability to communicate his ideas to his fellow man. Not only was he able to communicate his ideas orally, but he was able to pre- serve and accumulate these ideas through the miracle of the written word. Reading, thinking, and writing were not only complementary and interconnected, but they were parts of a single process - communi- cation. The teachers of the English department stressed the importance and necessity of communi- cation. All processes of communicating, whether they were writing or speaking, reflected the students in- escapable individuality. Each teacher stressed the importance of the fundamental and objective prin- ciples of good writing and clear thinking. lVlrs, Helen Hodge headed the English department which was comprised of lVlrs. Barbara Spahlinger, lVlrs. Janet Spencer, lVlrs. Joyce Thompson, lVliss Nancy Carli, lVlrs. Karen Turner, lVliss Carol Bartha, lVlrs. lVlarilyn Sweeney, lVlr. Gerald Burke, lVlr. lVlerrill Purviance.

History Probes Past, Present, and Future James Turner Social Studies, 8th Basketball Coach sir' ,.', 2' I! sf f .if History, the ever increasing art of man, is contin- ually growing. Thus, the teachers stressed this subject greatly. Moments of the past were re-built, torn down, discussed and analyzed so that the student might con- sume the infinite knowledge of mind ages ago. Special techniques, such as: films, lectures, debates, and topic discussions, were used to probe students' minds, to obtain insight of past experiences, and bring into being the association of the past, present, and future. Teachers in charge of this department teach various types of history and other subjects. lVlr.
