Sequential writing program developed So that a student can be assured of hav- ing the skills he needs for college writing the En lish department developed a stand- ardizef? se uential writing program. Since most TOHQS students go on to college, it was felt necessary to give students this background in writing a paper logically. In the new program a progression occurs. Freshmen study sentences and par- agraphs, and how to arrange them cor- rectly. As sophomores,students work with presenting thoughts logically in compos- ltions. Juniors have term papers to wrestle with, while seniors in English 12 and 4 pol- ish the finer points of English grammar and structure. Teaching senior classes was Mrs. Jean Ferguson who returned to TOHS after a year in England. Several new teachers joined the English department: Mrs. Maxine Sokoloff, teach- ingfuniors and freshmen, Mrs. Jeanne Bar and, teaching juniors, and Jerrold Morris, who is shared by the English and Social Science departments, teaching soph- omores. Literature of the Bible, taught by Mr. Gary Coffman, was the only new course introduced to the English department. ll .

Care of a high school campus and 3,000 students is a large responsibility, but for the classified help it is a l in a day's work. Keeping the floors clean, the grounds lit- ter-free and the grass growing are among the vital jobs that fill the days of the main- tenance crew. Secretaries are daily faced with the upkeep of records, files and attendance lists. Meeting students during the daily routine of filling out re-admits, a rapport grew between the two, despite long lines. Quiet in the library gave students a chance to escape from the noise that is inevitable created when surrounded by people. In the nurse's office Mrs. Mary Fox offered s mpathy and attention for minor aches andy pains. Lines of direct communication were opened between the cafeteria workers and students when the head dietician answered requests for more student control over the menu. ASB officers were given examples of several menus and asked for their recom- mendations on them. In another example of cooperation the student government tested several t es of hamburger to deter- mine which shoiiljd be served at lunch. -of SERVICES
