Head Speech -- Drama TECH STUDENTS STUDIED ENGLISH FUNDAMENTALS The English Department strived to give the stu- dents a better understanding of the English language. Department members experimented with new ideas and approaches to the English fundamentals to make the courses more interesting. The team teaching method was again employed by the English department. Mrs. Richards and Miss Williams taught at the iunior level, and Mr. Mestnik and Mr. Froyan team taught their senior classes. By using the team teaching approach, each teacher could teach in the areas he preferred, and thus make the course more interesting and meaningful. Humanities, a new course open to all students, involved the study of some of the great ideas of man as expressed through literature, religion, philosophy, music, and the arts. A four week speech unit was mandatory for sophomores and iuniors. Senior Speech was an elec- tive for those who were interested in a course that went beyond the material covered in sophomore and iunior years. Drama was offered as a course in which the student could apply himself to the theater arts. The iuniors and seniors who elected to take this course read and performed a wide variety of plays.
