I enjoy the stimulation and challenge of helping students discover their talents and abilities as they write, think, and read, Miss Berkel said. She is responsible for many events and happenings in the English Department. Every 4 to 6 weeks, she attends the English depart- ment chairpersons' meeting at which she rec- ommends curriculum changes, and from which she passes along information to other teachers. Miss Berkel enjoys traveling very much. She has been on seven trips to Europe, four of which were chaperoning student trips. She also enjoys collecting unicorns. Said Miss Berkel, I've got quite a collection of ceramics and drawingsg they are all over my bedroom. English 135
