English: Deeper Zkan Words Junior and Senior English saw a new teacher this year, Miss Wan- da Adams. Juniors concentrated mostly on American Literature while the seniors worked on Old English Literature. Miss Adams intermixed grammar and spelling throughout the year. Mrs. Schaffer’s freshmen and sophomore English classes alter- nated quarters with grammar and literature. The sophomore class also produced the quarterly “Ram Time” paper with the ever popu- lar gossip column. Aside from the normal English classes, Mrs. Schaffer and Miss Adams taught the Oral Communi- cations classes. Oral Communica- tions I looked at all the aspects of communicating, from pantomime (communicating without words) to speeches and presentations. Oral Communications II, taught by Miss Adams, worked on pre- senting themselves and getting their thoughts across to other peo- ple. Both classes worked together frequently on many assignments including field trips and a major school play, “Father Knows Best” produced and directed by both teachers.
