Increased reading skills, pioneered Braille program Teachers new to the language arts department were Mrs. Helen Harmon, Miss Marcia Willough- by, and Mrs. Virginia Moss. Two ofthese were replacements, the third, an addition to the staff. Mrs. Doris Smith, teacher of the Braille Resource Program, provided a class in which students learned to read and write braille.
