Vestaburg High’s largest area of study this year was the English department. Along with the Busi- ness department, this field offered a total of twen- ty-two different courses. Senior class and Spanish Club advisor this year was English teacher, Mrs. Pat Christensen. Humor and exciting poems and stories made her classes of English 9, Non-fiction, Research Paper, and Spa- nish 1 and II enjoyable to her students. Journalism, Short Story, Contemporary Lit, American Lit, Twentieth Century Authors, and English 9 were taught by Mrs. Cheryl Fox. She was also a Senior class advisor and has been teach- ing here for ten years. A new English teacher, Miss Beverly Kenyon, was added to the faculty this year. In her classes of Read-a-Movie, Speech, Health, English 9, and English Lit, Miss Kenyon worked with students individually, for she believed they learn more when they know they are cared about as people. English 7 and 8, Research Paper, and Yearbook were courses taught by Mrs. Betsy Rau. She be- lieved in getting her students involved in class ac- tivities and relaying her enthusiasm to them. This was her second year of teaching at VHS. A course in specialized reading was taught by Mrs. Kathy Tissue who has been teaching here for six years. Her students had an exciting time com- peting in a Guiness Book of World Records contest and a Scrabble tournament held in her class this year. 14 Mrs. Mary Jo Sayers and Mrs. Dianne Wilson made up the Business department faculty.
