OUl'SlDE REAUING is strongly emphasized by all English teachers. Bill Paul and Alzinllohnson. riglif. rcprcscnt Il typical library scene. English Teachers Strive To Provide Varied Ideas English teachers strive to help students become literate readers, competent writers, and self-assured speakers. 'LEach year, we hold classes to improve our own skills and maintain communication about cur- rent trends in English, explains Miss Geraldine Hofer, English department head. Various classes are offered to suit the needs and interests of all students. Mr. Archie Vivian teaches a course in business English dealing with written and oral communication in the business world. Creative writing. taught by Mr. Jim johnson, is designed to supplement the natural talent of creative students by providing useful forms and channels for energy, along with helpful evaluation and criticism. Miss Hofer's advanced placement English class is offered to top students who are capable of doing col- lege-level work. By scoring high on a test given in the spring, these students can obtain college credit for the study-they have done. The highlight of the year was a trip to the Seattle Repertory Theater in December to see HThe Cruci- ble by Arthur Miller. This trip gave many students their hrst opportunity to see professional drama pre- formed on the stage. MARY ALLAN - U ofll' B.A., Eng- DONNA FOWLER - OSU BA., Eng lish. lish. debate.

1 I SCHOOL BUS Hamburgers, Keys, F1 es p S It takes many capable people working behind the scenes to keep each school day running smoothly. Mrs. Ruth Holmes, Mrs. Brenda Frazier, and Mrs. Phyllis Ray keep things functioning efficiently in the main office, where they answer questions and solve problems for many students every day. In the attendance office Mrs. Grace Cunningham has the job of keeping track of our 1200 students six periods a day. Imagine the job of feeding more than 250 hungry teenagers every day. That is the task of our school cooks, Mrs. june Haley and Mrs. Alleen Poppe. Our custodians, Mr. Sanford Swartos, Mr. Elmer Fleck, Mr. Rutz Anderson, and Mr. Roy Strong, are responsible for keeping our campus spotlessly clean. Combating tight schedules, late students, and the weather are Skagit Valley College boys who trans- port hundreds of students to and from school daily. Located near the bus barn is the office of Mr. john Tonkin, cafeteria and maintenance supervisor. Mrs. Phyllis Pearson, school nurse, is not only concerned with the health of MVHS students, but is also advisor to the Future Nurses Association. Mr. Phipps' office is staffed by four capable secretaries, Miss Elin Anderson, Mrs. Gloria Van- Valkenburg, Mrs. Myrtle Elde, and Mrs. Olive Page. ANSWERING PHONE calls, typing, and filing are only a few of the many jobs that keep Mrs. Grace Cunningham, Mrs. Brenda Frazier, Mrs. Ruth Holmes, and Mrs. Phyllis Ray, right, busy every day. .
