Reviewing at the board is a good way for Mr. Ireland to see what his English class remembers. Nancy Hall, Kris Strotkamp and Kim Rose wait for the next question. Reading and Writing Lab was a new class with a new teacher. Miss Busenitz. This class provided an opportunity for students seeking extra help in those areas. Miss Bu- senitz helps out Rick McIntosh with an English assignment. English Classes “Subject” To Changes Shuffling was the subject of the English classes. Reading and Writing Lab for individual help with any English prob- lems, and English III and IV with more traditional ap- proaches for juniors and seniors were added to the schedule. When Mr. Shields resigned in September, Mr. Ireland be- came the Activities Director which necessitated a shift in his classes. Miss Busenitz’s English I classes were reorga- nized into three sections and she took over the Vocational English class to free him of his duties. Even more changes are planned for next year!

Many late night hours were spent to make changes in “The Blue- Print.” The biggest change was in the headline composition.The lo- cal newspaper editor was gracious enough to allow the staff to use his Compugraphic to set their head- lines. This created a more uniform look. Using a larger staff and section editors with reporters, the paper had a more in-depth approach. This specialization helped Nancy Hall, Russ Ediger and Kim Shaw to qualify at Kansas Scholastic Press Association Regional Con- test in February. Kim won second in Newspaper Makeup for 1A-2A- 3A schools at state competition in March. In September both staffs toured Newton’s Mennonite Free Press and the Wichita Eagle-Beacon.
