e Services for Groves Even though Groves, secretaries are kept busy with many clerical tasks necessary for school operation, they are always willing to help students. Many a distressed student has gone to the secretaries for assistance in such things as finding lost locks, making counselor appoint- ments, and mending torn clothing. As a result, a number of friendships have developed between the secretarial- clerk staff and the student body. On entering Groves it is hard for a student not to notice the well-kept grounds as well as the clean halls and rooms. The custodians are responsible for keeping the school in iirst-rate condition. The cooking staff takes special care in the plan- ning and preparation of the lunches for the student body and the teaching staff. The cooks also arrange meals or coffee and snacks for many of the functions held in the cafeteria after school hours, such as P.T.A. meetings, open house, and the sports banquets. The student body and the administration at Groves are appreciative of the dedication of the secretaries, cooks, and custodians for their services in keeping Groves running etiiciently throughout the year. time and care goes into the planning of nourishing and well-balanced lunches. if ....

A if -5 if., jig. - English Pro ram The biggest change in the Groves' cur- riculum this year occurred in the English department. For the first time semester elective courses were available for capable juniors and seniors. Enrollment in these classes is not de- termined by grade level but by achieve- ment and interest. The courses are offered to senior college prep students and to juniors in the eleventh grade V classes. Students must elect at least one English course each semester, but they may elect two. As a graduation requirement at least one semester of expository writing must be taken. The seven new semester courses are creative writing, American literature, English literature, world literature, the novel, modern logic and composition. These courses allow teachers to work in areas of English in which they are best trained, and students to pick courses they are most interested in pursuing. The sophomore, 12th grade general, and Honors English classes are conducted much the same as in previous years. Leading a twelfth grade general English discussion, Mr. John Sala explains a theory of poetry. si24S2L?ffgg.' fl' I i i fa .- - . kiwi- - - - ' Q .fi i.-wt ...v ' . . . .. .J - ,--i, twat., . . . .H K Q If - 3,1554 2.
