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.

Science Dept. Acquires Author- Teacher A new teacher in Palmer's Science Department this year was Mr. Douglas Wheat, who taught biology and geolo- gy. Coming to Palmer from Emerson Junior High, where he taught Earth Science and Biology, he stated that he wanted to teach at the high school level. In addition to teaching, he will be writ- ing a book dealing with Colorado rivers. When asked what changes he would like in the Department, he replied that he would like to see more geology courses offered. According to Mr. Keith Rogers, Sci- ence Department Chairman, Mr. Dan- iel Mitchell traded positions with Mr. Michael Provenzano and taught science this year while Mr, Provenzano taught physical education. Mr. Rogers went on to say that a new course this year was Action Biology, a down-to-earth and more usable course. Action Biology followed in the tradition of Action Chemistry, both of which were offered for non-college-bound stu- dents.
