ff .. English Classwork Stresses Importance The main objective for the English Depart- ment this year was to have more basic grammar and writing skills incorporated into all English related courses. The Basic Reading Program was totally changed in concept to allow students more free reading time, in addition to tests which were administered to them. Many guest speakers visited classes, especially Mass Media, throughout the year. Speakers ranged from police officers to disc jockeys to an astrologer. During the year, English students entered National and Local con- tests. Junior Sherri McCarthy won a Second Place Award in a Newswriting ex perience contest sponsored by the State Press Association. The Newspaper staff submitted entries in an annual contest sponsored by Arizona State University. . on an ,1 s wr he '- Q ' 4 A f-if ' X aa . A . s , , csc i I, hw.

Anthropology is the newest course this year in the Social Studies Department, making it nine from which to chose. lt is a half sem- ester course in which one studies the origin, the developments and the beliefs of mankind. Other courses in the department range from World History and Government to Free Enterprise and Sociology. The Current Events Game, started last year, is played among the classes every Friday to see which class can answer the most questions about news of the week. Two clubs that are related to the Social Studies Department are the Arizona History and Hiking Club sponsored by Mr. William Pellett and Mrs. Mildred Pettis, and the Ecology Club sponsored by Mr. William Verhulst.
