Although the occupants of the English office have changed somewhat, the rather homey atmosphere has not. The U High staff this year gained another Ph.D. which belongs to Edith West, senior social studies teacher. Dr. West is the permanent department head. In order to have students who know a little about a lot of things, the Unified Arts Department, headed by W.
