DIAGRAMMING, sometimes a tedious task that re- quires skill and patience, is one way that Bill Zima learns the parts of speech, ,W M., Z, Who the Dickens is Charles??? Charles Dickens was the famed author that was recognized on the English Department sponsored Author Day in early April, Activities for the week centered around Dickens and his works. A fact sheet was distributed to all of the student body giving them information about Dickens and his works. Posters advertising Author Day were placed throughout the mall, attrac- ting student interest and participation. A contest of matching Dickens' characters with his books was held for the entire stu- dent body. The winner received a set of Dickens' classics. Students, however, were not the only ones that had Dickens' Disease, teachers also held noticeable interest, and could be found dressed-up as some of the many memorable characters that Dickens created in his books. English department teachers also sold buttons to students to help purchase the film Oliver. Students purchasing the buttons were able to see the film over a two day period in their English classes. Dickens was chosen by the English teachers because of his universal appeal to all ages. HM WHAT SMELLS SO GOOD??? A break from their studies, David Wuthrich, Deon Booker, Maury Hill, and Dodee Washam in a Spanish I class learn from a cultural experience, the different types of food that other coun- tries have to offer. DICKENS' DISEASE, caused by Author Day, hit the student body with full force. Students like Paul Lepley could be found gazing at the case filled with Dickens' works. K and L WINGS I 175

Walking through M wing, students and faculty alike had their 'attention drawn to attractive works of art displayed in two gloss cases located near M-4 and M-5. These displays varied from weaving pro- jects to ceramic masks to pen and pencil sketches and were changed every so often to show the assortment of appealing projects created by the art students of the school. Projects collected throughout the course of the year were put on exhibition one final time in the art show which took place in May. The main purpose of the art show is to get students used to showing their work and to expose the school to what the art students are doing and to the talent that is in the art department! exclaimed Miss Liz Kershaw, art teacher. THE BALANCE WAS RIGHT when Debbie Vivona finished arranging the ceramic masks located in the display cases near the art rooms. All year long students observed art work done by fellow students.
