The classes were divided into three groups, x, y, and z in which students were placed according to their abilities. The English teachers, headed by ileft to righti George Sweet, Susan White, Tommy Butt and Tanya Benton, all seem to be absorbed in in Mrs. Penl's lecture. 24 ileft to righti Miss Ellen Ellis English, Journalism Newspaper Sponsor Mrs. Francis Bishop LongwoodICollege; 3.5.
