Good Communication MRS. EMILY GATES, A.B. Mrs. Gates majored in Business Comprehension and her minor was in English. Her hobbies are swimming and sewing, but as she said, 1 really don't have much time for them anymore. Housework, teaching, and my son, Rick, take up most of my time. She worked with the seniors and juniors, hand-in- hand, to put on two excellent class plays. Each class of English has one semester of grammar and one semester of literature. In grammar students found that diagraming participles, infinitives, gerunds, and noun clauses wasn't as easy as it looked. Literature was a mass of metaphors, similes, and alliteration. However, they weren't really so difficult when you had a good teacher. DARKE CO. AUTO DEALERS ASSN. Greenville. Ohio 15

Proper Grammar MRS. HELEN JEFFRIS, A. B. Mrs. Jeffris is back for her second year at the Valley. She had a very busy schedule this year. She taught five English classes and one Speech course. She had to work hard to be able to listen to book reports from the juniors and seniors. She had many outside interests which include cook- ing, knitting, reading, and coin collecting. Two things she really dislikes doing are keeping house and watch- ing TV. A variety of twenty minute speeches were given —from mushrooms to narcotics—including the one given by Barbara Fisher on Science Fiction which held the class with a puzzled interest. The senior classes enjoyed reading Macbeth, and one of the requirements of literature was four book reports a year. Some of the students found out that waiting until the last minute resulted in staying after school to give their book reports. R. B. COX INSURANCE COMPANY Ansonia, Ohio 14

Languages MRS. THETIS GREENLEE. A.B. Mrs. Greenlee is a graduate of Indiana University. This year she taught French I. French n, and sophomore English. Even though she only taught a half day. she played a most important part in teaching the students of her classes the importance of learning another lan- guage. She enjoys participating in lake activities, playing bridge, reading, and learning more about France. French I and II students learn about the land and the people of France. They apply their knowledge of the language by con- versing in French. GRAY’S JEWELERS Greenville, Ohio 16 SECOND NATIONAL BANK Greenville, Ohio
