The custodians give the school an overall neat ap- pearance.

English Senior Year Of English Required In response to encouragement from almost everybody but the students, the class of '84 was the first to graduate with four years of required English. The school board approved this requirement in 1983. To make way for this change in curriculum, more English classes were offered to the sen- iors. This meant the end of several elective classes which were offered for English credit in years past. Mr. George Paxton replaced Mr. Don Bo- deen, who retired after teaching here since 1953. After seven weeks, Mrs. Sandy Lange, a substitute teacher in Roseburg schools for three years, replaced Mr. Paxton, who moved to California. Mr. Bodeen returned to complete the yearbook one period (?) a day. Other addi- tions included Mrs. Marcia Lenker, Mr. Gary Flood, and Miss Cynthia Burgey, who took over Mrs. Miller’s job. ▼ Dawn Welkum, an efficient English aide, explains, “It’s not my fault this desk is a mess. It’s Mrs. Lange’s, and she says that a messy desk is the mark of a genius.” a Hoping that her students will love Shakespeare, Mrs. Jennifer Doerner, sophomore English teacher, prepares lesson plans for herself and evaluators. 22 English
