I feel the semester classes are better for students, because they can get more in depth studies, Department Chairman Joan Brenner remarked. Semester classes are really neat, because you can get involved and more comfortable with the subiect, senior Lori Anspach expressed. The new semester system this year appealed to most teachers and students. They like the fact that classes met for a semester rather than for a quarter. There will be more student involvement without the class being cut off after nine weeks, Instructor Jan Schmidt commented. The department offered two new courses this year, Survey of English literature and Adven- tures in American Literature. These two courses were helpful to the college bound student, they dealt with the literature from its beginning to modern times, Joan Brenner stated. Other innovative classes were enjoyed by students. Communications Concepts covered many areas of communications. It is a good breakdown of how contact occurs and creates language, Senior Susan Horine offered. Kay Hartley indicated that, Technical Review was a unique experience. ll Mike Lamb tries to express his feelings to Ocie Riv- ers about drama in the drama room. 21 Victor Alfonso, Jack Klug, and Raymond Lee earnestly read on in Mrs. Brenner's class. f .1-mi.wf ,E yew I 2 Chris Gardner Special Education Don Gissel Music William Gray Principal COMMUNICATIONS X I9
