Faculty MR. DUNHAM This is my fourth year here at Southwestern Heights. I believe it has been a most enjoyable and successful year. The students I have worked with have responded well and have made teach- ing a pleasure for me. Thank you all. MR. DUNHAM is the auto mechanics and arts and crafts teacher. Here he's showing his students how to assemble a carburetor. MR. BROWN This year the business department introduced a new course, personal typing, for those students not desiring to pursue a course in typing aimed strictly in the area of office occupations. These students learned the fundamentals of the type- writer and were introduced to problems they will confront in their personal life in which the use of the typewriter will be valuable. This year the Vo-Ag depart- ment has put emphasis on several new activities; judging teams, service projects, like planting trees for the school and the city of Plains and money making pro- jects like painting. It has been a rewarding year for the students and myself.

MRS. SCRIBNER, librarian. The 1972-73 school year has been a busy year for the library. Since the English de- partment changed the Junior and Senior Eng- lish program to mini-courses, there has been an increase in circulation of library mate- rials. The first two years under this new system created a 37% increase in the number of books circulated over the last two years under the old English system. Thank-You RIGHT; MRS. BROWN, English and debate and drama teacher. These two years of teaching at SWH have been both a rewarding and a learning experience. I have especially enjoyed our nine-week ini mini-courses for Juniors and Seniors. Not only do these classes give the students a much wider scope of choice, but they also give the teacher a fresh challenge. I would never enjoy teaching the same class over and over again in the same manner. Maybe that is why I have included different areas of study from year to year even in my Freshman and Sophomore classes. Directing the debate and drama program has been a thoroughly enjoyable task. The fine per- formances turned in by the students have made all the work worthwhile. MRS. BENDER, business department, This has been a very enjoyable year. I have found most of the students interested in their class work and school activities. Many have shown that they are am- bitious, interested individuals who want to succeed in all that they are called upon to do. r •
