English Classes Enrich Our Lives The English Department is one of the big areas in academics. Classes 'include the regulation gram- mar and vocabulary but reading speech ad- other options. Not all are hard work and no play however. Some classes, like the above picture of Mrs. Knight s Renaissance Faire where students reenacted Shakespeare s times from food to cos- tumes, had special activities. Ms. Keithley s class had a traditional and authentic tea party com- plete with crumpets. Ms. DeVroeg s freshmen baked cakes representing their book Ch21I'HCl391'S, and her senior advanced compositionists created a special magazine for their own talented works. fPictured: Evan Vernonj 7 7 7 vanced composition, and literature courses are 7 7 7 9 Y 9 ACadBIDiCS English As A Second Language Is Also Taught On Campus Some students chose to take English as a second language, tr improve in that area. They came from homes where Chinese Vietnamese, Spanish, Persian, and Laos were the dominant lan guages spoken.

Communicative Arts Gives Hands On Experience Yearbook newspaper journalism photography library science and Drama I and II are offered at SPHS in the area of Communicative Arts. Students learned basic skills like stage direction and layout design and short-cuts like interviewing correctly and the Dewy Decimal System. They discovered nothing takes the place of actually experiencing the perfect shot or meeting goals under pressure. By the time a project is completed the students have learned how to reach out and touch someone else. fPictured QL to RJ: Kerry Panno' Brian Rundlett and Anna Alcalaj Culture Days Acqualnt Us With Other Lifestyles Language courses helped students meet prerequi- sites for college and graduation. SPHS offers Spanish, French, and German. These classes are enhanced by clubs and activities such as culture days fleft, Frau Squires, students enjoy some Ger- man specialties and end up engaged in a little American horse-playll.
