English A mastery of English is important. This is why everyone, five days a week for four years, trudges into the various English classes. One may love En¬ glish and therefore writes a great deal, or one may not like English at all. However, it is clear to all that no one can graduate with¬ out English. The better developed one ' s English skills are, the more success one will likely have. Of course, this learning process proves to be easier if one works with an English teacher that one likes. However, this does not mean that there is just one favorite teacher in the English department; every teacher is unique. For example, Ms. Caniff offers youth and a liberal mind, while Dr. Russell teaches with wisdom and experi¬ ence. All in all, the English department tries to help develop a strong proficiency for one to use in everyday life. — by Joan Matelli JOE Tahnk and David McClintock enjoy distracting Keith Leonard between periods from his Masterpiece reading assignment.

Arts O ften overlooked by the students, the arts are sometimes deprived the true credit they deserve. Just as important as any other subject, Art in¬ vokes an inner creativity. Just as English is to compositions. Art is to expression into material medium. Art is not the only choice. There ' s also Industrial Arts, Music, Home Economics, Humanities, and the Business. Now with the high school ' s expansion of options, there is something for everyone. To some it ' s just, What ' s the difference? But it is an excellent way to express your innerfeelingsand still getsomecreditfor it. Somewhere, someone has gone through great grievances to bring the students what we deserve. What we must all remember in the end is that no matter what we are all different and we all have our own form of art. — by Kent Matsueda RENEE Lacascia and Erin Hartigan create modern art.

Social Studies M any consider “social studies as just another name for history courses. However, history is NOT the only course the social studies de¬ partment offers. Mr. O ' Connor, the head of the department said, “The goal of our de¬ partment is to prepare the students to be aware, informed citizens. The courses range from specific training to general overviews. History courses help to gain in¬ sight into other subjects. He also ex¬ plained, “The department is headed to¬ wards cooperation with the other depart¬ ments, so that academic education is not separate from current events. One exam¬ ple ofthis idea is Humanities. Courses such as these help to create joint presentation and prove that subjects are all inter-related. This concept of related ideas is what the so¬ cial studies department is all about. Hope¬ fully, in the future, the relation between history and social studies will not be so confused and will be rather appreciated. — by AN Mueller MIKE Aldrich reviews his notes and identities quickly one more time as he prepares for a difficult history test in Humanities.
