Seniors crucify a scene from Shakespeare ' s The Tempest in Miss Plaster ' s second period accelerated English class. Mrs. Nancy Greene Emory Univ., B.A. English Mrs. Itnogene Walker Univ. of Georgia, B.S. English In Composition Developing students ' competence in read- ing, writing and speaking the English language is the goal of the English Department at North Fulton. In the eighth grade emphasis is placed particularly on composition and grammar. During the next four years, English poetry and literature are added to the curriculum. Although unknown to some students, jour- nalism and dramatics are also a great part of our English Department. Accelerated classes are offered to students who have shown special achievement and creativeness in English. These classes, which allow the student to broaden the scope of his English accomplishments, offer extra prepara- tion for college.

Space Age Achievements Encourage With the dawn of tomorrow fac- ing the world today and with future scientists needing a stronger back- ground than ever before, North Fulton has enlarged and modernized its science department to meet this need. In the Chemistry Department, Chem Study, a new course involving more theory and lab work, has been introduced on an experimental basis. Physics is already on a new course called P.S.S.C. physics, also involving lab work with more theory. General Science and hiealth Sci- ence start students on the road to better scientific reasoning and pre- pare them for later advanced courses. Harry Taylor Georgia Tech, B.S. Emory Univ., M.A.T.
