The Phase-Elective English department in- novated a new course the first nine weeks for its classes: All students took a basic grammar course to refresh their memories and to prepare them for future classes where grammar is a ne- cessity. Phase-elective courses were taught at different levels of un- derstanding. Some of these courses taught during the 1976-77 school year were World Literature, A Study of Death, Literature and the Supernatural, Rele- vant Issues, Creative Writing, Basic Communi- cations, Free Spirit, Ex- pository Writing and Moral Responsibility, The English teachers at Woodlan were Mr. Alvin Waldron, Mrs. Kathy Stolz, Mr. Robert Herman, Miss Melanie Coats, Mrs. Sue Hartzell, Mrs. Eleanor Strahm, Mrs. Martha Weaver, Mrs. Judith Homrig and Mrs. Barbara Willinger. 1.
