RICHARD WALN Superintendent of School District 353 Changing Times The 1966-67 school year will be remembered as a year of change. Unified School District 353 became a reality. Well- ington Senior High now serves the entire Unified School Dis- trict, which represents an area approximately ten miles on all sides of Wellington. Whether unification is good or bad is a subject of great debate. Nevertheless, changes have taken place and will con- tinue to take place. In years to come, many changes will be made in the curriculum of the Senior High School. We will see a move away from a static classroom of approximately thirty students to some large classes of perhaps one hundred or to groups of only ten or twelve, and in some cases indi- vidual teacher-pupil counseling. The curriculum will change and students will be given more freedom for individual study. We appreciate the efforts of the students who have helped bring change without confusion. The years ahead will be ex- citing ones as more changes take place. We hope the seniors will continue their education and that some might return to their alma mater to help make it a school where wonderful educational experience will be realized by future generations. faded ML, EW ADMINISTRA TI ON E s 5 SCHOOL BOARD: Jim Marsh, Don Hyten, Ray Evans, Harry Coffel, George Gwynn, Dean Miller 4

LAN GUA GE English is basic. It is used everytime we converse, everytime we listen, everytime we read, and everytime we write. It is from these everyday uses of our language that the goals for achievement in-English emerge. We seek to improve speaking, listening, reading and writing. The methods and means of improving these skills are numerous and varied. The structure of the basic language unit, the sentence, is taught by means of grammar. Following the mastery of the sentence comes improvement of the larger unit, the paragraph - and finally the writing of the whole theme which is well organized and shows that the writer has acquired style. Also, when the student has mastered sentence structure, he speaks better, he listens with greater interest and comprehension, and his reading becomes more meaningful to him. His language has become a tool that he uses efficiently to communicate with those about him, to make himself understood, and to broaden his understanding of the world in which he lives. English is indeed basic! W. H. N Mr. Harmon assumes one of his usual positions. O-hour College Prep class is deeply absorbed in literature.
