This problem was faced by many of the freshmen. sophomore, and juniors enrolled in the Core pro- gram at Prospect. Core consists of a two period class in which both English and history are taught. The class is usually conducted by one teacher. but on special occasions Quest speakers from the C ORE community talk to the class about their worli. Teachers giving homework for history and English can check one assignment for both sub- jects. Also the two hour course allows the teacher to better understand his students. their strengths. and their wealtnesses. Tncludcd in this program are a study of current events and promotion ol' good citizenship. dvi A lt' is will it Mr, Smitley Miss Mahin Mr, Rust' Mr. Yaisvil Miss Trout Fha i rnm n 1
