Mr. Ray Kemper, Department Chairman, and four other instructors includ- ing Mr. Charles Wray, Mr. Constantino Lavezzo, Mr. Ray Jacques, and Mr, John Thompson worked on a grant which would help to develope new curricu- lum in government. In other areas, Independent Study was conducted, involving assignments from several teachers. The students were under the direction of Mr. Steve Baker. Changes also occured in classroom structure. This was shown in rooms 207 and 209 where the wall between them was torn out to accommodate large group instruction. A portable wall was used to seperate the two rooms. One new teacher was added to the department this year, Mr. Steve Holman, who taught World History. Miss Pat Pendergast, also a World History teacher, left the department at the semester.

Mr. Duncan MacSwain Mrs. Margie Neubauer The Redwood High School Library offers more to the students thanjust 15,000 books, 120 different magazines and various other media. One part has been reserved as a Social Studies resource center where students can get help from a Social Studies teacher. They can watch television or privately view movies or filmstrips, and listen to FM radio. The library also offers space for faculty offices and a resource area. The duplicating machine has been a great help to the students, and with type- writers, records and tapes, the students are well equipped for all methods of studying. These assets help all the students and make the Redwood library one ofthe finest in the county. A .. ' ,,-'Z 1 Mr. Jerry Jones

Mrs. Louise Velte Mr. Everett Andrew This year, three teachers were added to the English department: Mrs. Maria Van Buskirk, Mr. Russ Hill and Mr. Charles Feeney. Mrs. Van Buskirk graduated from San Francisco State College and then was an ob- server and student teacher at Redwood. Mr. Feeney graduated from Los Angeles State College, taught for two years in Southern California and then moved to Marin County. Mr. Hill has written several books in- cluding a series of books and tapes titled Spectrum which are intended to encourage students to use their senses when they write. As the LOG went to press, the English department had tentative plans to initiate an entirely elective pro- gram in English for Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. This program will allow students to choose activities they most need and enjoy in English. .. ,, if -- ' ff g .Q 4477 We 3' 5 I . ,gi I 'R ffl , gf Yr l' sfittftg, me vffiiff Department Head Miss Maurine Ballard Mr. Donal Brown Mr- Stan Buchanan Mr Harry Davis I G I IS H Miss Mary Donovan Mr. Charles Feeney Miss Glenda Gentry Mr- Jack Gibson iz f Z g 5 1 rkfkffwfz f' af 'mf f, X!!
