Saguaro's English Department does not only consist of the basic English class. Classes in speech, journalism, and developmental reading are also included. Supplementing the regular speech course is a special class in advanced speech, which enables interested students to compete in out-of-school contests. Developmental reading aids a student in faster reading ability and comprehension. This year a half-semester reading improvement course was offered for the freshmen. The course in journalism is divided in two main parts: newspaper and yearbook. The newspaper staff puts out the SABERCAT, while the yearbook staff publishes the SENTINEL. 160 - ENGLISH Advanced Speech Students it Take Part in Many Contests Here an English class takes a break fiom the normal routine and Watches a film about Greek Art.

As her students study, Mrs. Wilhelmina Batchelder organizes for her next class. As in her case, many other English teachers had two different levels of English to teach. This meant a lot of extra preparation. During the past years many teachers have switched the levels of English that they teach in order to relieve them of possible boredom and repetition. A few students have the same teachers twice. ENGLISH - 159
