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.
