Cuts Increase Social Studies Staff Work Load According to Social Studies Chair- man Mr. Adolph Bakun, there were several reasons for the busy year the department had. Although there were fewer students enrolled in school this year, the enrollment in the social stud- ies classes actually increased. Furthermore, there was a loss of three teachers, only two of whom were replaced: Ms. Barbara Toney, who took a leave of absence to exchange teach in Hawaii, Mr. Mac Grammerg and Mr. Sid Stockdale. Another cause was the elimination of three courses offered last year. Fewer courses resulted in bigger classes in the remaining courses of- fered. Some of the classes were expanded to include greater cultural learning in the racial and ethnic aspects: Ameri- can History, History of the Far East, and Minorities. Two new teachers joined the staff: Mr. James Maisano, who returned from sabbatical leave, and Ms. Mar- garita Mendiola, an exchange teacher from Hawaii.

Sophomores See TO KILL A M OCKIN GBIRD The 1978-1979 year was character- ized by many activities in the English Department. Among them was the feature film, TO KILL A MOCK- INGBIRD. Most English classes saw the four-day movie in October, An- other major movie shown by the De- partment was OLD MAN AND THE SEA, which students viewed in No- vember. Many career and guest speakers also appeared at Palmer throughout the year. Ms. Wylene Heninger, chairman of the English Department, said that on the average, classes were bigger this year than last year because of staff cuts in the Department. The English Department lost one and one-half teachers this year, including Ms. Jill Cohen and Ms. Cheryl Merritt. The history book, CHANGING .. .D 1879-1979, written by Ms. Lynn Barber, was published and sold to alumni and Palmer supporters.
