The English Department experienced numerous personnel changes. Mrs. Audrey Burnett moved from humani- ties coordinator to become chairperson of the department, replacing Mrs. Ann Armbrister. New faces included Mrs. Jane Hobeika and Mr. Patrick Irving, both of whom taught ninth grade intro- ductory language arts courses. New courses added to the English Department mini-course curriculum were Basic Communications and Liter- ature of the Modern World. These courses were prepared to include more recent, pertinent information to English students. English teachers Mr. John Swope, Mr. Patrick Irving, and Mr. Skip Maiden produced and directed three one-act plays. These were “The Thirteenth Hour,” “Mountain Folklore,” and “The Brick and the Rose,” respectively. Severe winter weather thwarted the efforts of students competing in Foren- sics.

Honor Roll Students at Springtime Tea i 1 m w ' wk ■ f A jjPy-v ■’ 3 1 it. i HP TV Trionne Hilliard, Beth Holt, George Pugh, Yyron Croslin, and Lori Glass plan the National Honor Society Tea. The National Honor Societies of Pulaski County High School were com- prised of those students in the eleventh and twelfth grades who maintained a “B” (or better) average. Because so many students were named to the Honor Society, the group was divided into senior and junior sections. The senior section of the National Honor Society met three times before Christmas. Meetings consisted of guest speakers or of discussions concerning college. Students asked questions con- cerning admission requirements, mail- ing deadlines, and tuition and other costs. In February, members of both sec- tions met to discuss the tea. To honor those students who made the honor roll for the semester, the Honor Society planned and held a tea in April. Mem- bers of the faculty at P.C.H.S. were also invited to the tea. Senior members of the Honor Society received a final distinction at gradua- tion. They wore gold tassels on their mortarboards.
