English remains strong in spite of move The dedicated and qualified English staff have had a rigorous year of changes. Moving books and supplies from one school to the other was not the most pleasant aspect of the renovation, but the teachers took it in stride. This year the Humanities Class viras privileged enough to receive a new classroom, the forum. Humanities re- mains one of the most highly acclaimed English courses at NHS, and to accom- modate the great number of college- bound students, the classroom addition was both necessary and appreciated by the English staff. Overall, the English program has held together with fantastic endurance and triumphantly conquered uncontrollable circumstances. Mrs. Hopping has the attention of almost all her sophomores. Nice studio, Mrs. Dwyer! Mr. Kinde, fresh in from Hollywood, finds out he is really in Mustang Country.
