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

INTEGRA TION S TRESSES IN VOL VEMENTp READING SUCCESS ASSURES BENEFITS We are a highly individualized program that assists the hearing impaired individual to become part of the mainstream ofthe school, stated Nancy Noffsinger, instructor. This year's goal was to make the students feel they are a part of the school by providing services for students with hearing impairments or those that are linguistically disadvantaged. Sopho- more Jim Darling told, I enioy Washington because I can be involved in many different sports and take classes that I really enjoy, too. These students had an integrated studies class once a day to provide a time for them to get help if they don't comprehend some of the information they are being taught in other classes. They also had many discussions during this period. Senior Jim House commented, Washington gives me the opportunity to interact with people more easily because of the small class size. It is nice to be known as a person and not just someone who's hanging around. The goals for this year's reading classes were summed up by David Aldrich in the following statement: I believe perfecting reading skills is like climbing a mountain. Those who suc- ceed are in a position to command a better view of the world around them. Students who had difficulties in reading used materials like kits, filmstrips, workbooks, and paperbacks. This course was designed to cover either a semester or a full year, but it was most beneficial as a full year course.
