WHILE COMPILING information for his junior research paper, Mike Pottorf discovered that the collection of magazines in the library could be a valuable reference source. SANDY STONE and other members of Mrs. McPherron's junior English class supplemented their studies of Huckleberry Finn by listening to an album of Mark Twain's readings. Emphasized expression with creative new text Time had lent a quaintness to the reading and writing definition of English, but it described this year's English classes quite aptly. New text and teach- ing methods centered around creative expression, and for the first time, composition books were issued to all levels. The increased interest in dramatics and debate indicated thatthe idea of creativeness waswell re- ceived. Four teachers were new to the department. Mrs. Patsy Kerley and Mrs. Barbara Bayer were re- placements, and the large enrollment explains the two additions, Mr. Clark Lyman and Mrs. Jane Connett. Continuing in his developmental reading program, Mr. Robert Crow gave the participating students the chance to increase their vocabulary and add to their reading comprehension. Six of the teachers from this department had their rooms in the new portables, and all liked them very much.

Travel programs offered students deeper insight In a world grown very small, time is no longer a set- back to international relations. This development has demanded the advance of communication and under- standing between countries. With this thought in mind, the teachers in the foreign language depart- ment strove to increase the interest of students in for- eign languages. New teachers Mrs. Barbara Bayer and Miss Martha Macnamara teaching German and Span- ish, respectively, added to the skill and enthusiasm of the department. The response to this emphasis was evident in the participation of more students in the foreign travel program. Open to French, German, Lat- in, and Spanish students, this six week summer course gave students a once-in-a-lifetime opportun- ity for gaining first hand a better knowledge and in- sight to lives and problems different than their own.
