Exfmeu qamaelf The Language Arts Depart- ment aims at teaching the stu- dent reading and writing skills that he can benefit from through- out his life. Novels, short stories, poems, plays, and essays are studied and analyzed. Writing experience is gained by writing in-class assignments in which the student learns to express his thoughts and opinions more freely. Different branches of this de- partment give pupils a chance to further develop their talents. The speech and debate courses emphasize public speaking and participation in tournaments, while the student grows in self- confidence. Acting experience and various techniques are pro- vided in the dramatics courses, which also sponsor school plays and some assembly skits. There are credit courses in annual and journalism for those interested in writing and publications work. These students make use of their talents by putting out the yearbook and school newspaper. it . .W ,stsswmst ., Mrs. Deanna Vandermaid--Language Arts Ill The students are held in suspense as they find out their final test grades. t. sl T wk' ' YQ - J ' L .ti . - sit tg iw' tifss 'tl' has Miss Connie Weimer-Language Arts ll l can just see it now-'Miss America'.

But what are the students without the teachers? The teachers help guide and mold the stu- dents so that the students can, in turn, shape their school and community into something of which they can be proud. The teachers are not only people who lecture in the classroom. They are friends, advisors, adults who spend their days-and much of their spare time-in trying to help their students become responsible, knowl- edgeable citizens. The teachers, while united in their common purpose, are divided into many different areas of study. A student's choice of subjects ranges from vocal music to Biology ll.'There are quali- fied teachers for nearly every field of study a Park Hill student could desire. He can study business skills, a foreign language, perfection in the uses of his own language, different periods of history-from the Roman Empire to the present day, any number of sciences, physical fitness, or practical arts-from learning how to drive, or learning how to sew and cook, to learning skills in shop and drafting. What kind of a school would we have with- out competent, qualified teachers? We need our teachers not only to instruct us in factual knowl- edge, but we need them to look up to as exam- ples, and to be our friends.
