Teachers often had work days to allow students to complete assignmentsand receive help . The English class full of grammar has disappeared at Saguaro. This year saw a change of philosophy in teaching for the English department. A greater emphasis on composition was moved down to junior, sophomore, and freshman levels. This is an early preparation for college where much of the work is done in composition form. The seniors received more literature and less composition than in previous years. The emphasis on grammar was also reduced. Eight new teachers were employed this year, making a present total of twenty-three instructors in Saguaro's English department. 158 - ENGLISH Mr. Gerry Gaintner, junior and senior Enfglish teacher, investigates a new book as a possibility for a future textbook. Many o the English books used this year consisted of paperbacks, but there were also many new hard ack books put into use.
