ELAINE STONER BREAK A LEG Eyes, ears, and hands were all the basic tools needed in Elaine Stoner's classes. Eyes were for reading, ears for listening and hands for writing or working with communications equipment. A jack of all trades was a name that certainly fit Stoner, considering the wide variety of classes and activities she instructed. Reading was the key in classes such as Reading Appreciation a class devoted to self-reading im- provement, and Recent Fiction, a class which read the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien and conducted a mock trial and debate. Writing was fundamental in Creative Writing class, which was dedicated to learning how to properly construct poetry, plays and short stories. Mass Media and Electronics Journalism offered students a real-life look at television and radio planning, producing and the pleasure of a finished product. 1. Elaine Stoner taught English, Mass Media and Drama classes. 2. Student teacher, Keith Syberg, discusses elec- tronic journalism with sophomore David Bouzek. 3. Students intermingle before Stoner begins class. Q 'ki'-'vu W1 -Hr,,u-u-fre-4, np.,--49'deuww.....x1, , - ...las-newsua-.L 4' -a4M .pu-va

GAYLE wALDRoN BACK T0 BASICS Students know English, but periodically they slip in an error. Practical English, under the in- struction of Gayle Waldron, helped iron out all the rough spots in their grammer. Are students writing habits such that if they have to write a note to a friend, they can un- derstand it? Basic English helped students to learn to communicate on the written level. American literature students IQII learned about the lives and literature of such men as Edgar Lee Masters and Sam Clemens. Keith Syberg, student teacher, helped Print Journalism students prepare for Production Journalism as they learned to take, print and develop pictures. Production Journalism students put to use the skills they learned in Print Journalism to pro- duce the Tawana and Trentonian. 1. Waldron served as a tri-sponsor of the cheer- leaders. Waldron, Renee Griffith, Karen Wal- lace and Tina Carder check over material for a pep assembly. 2. Steve Hudson, John Elliot and Sheri Walker are impressed by a Waldron story. 3. John Elliot, Doug Spencer and Murray Den- nis sort class pictures in Production Journalism.
