"English Room."
No longer is the area used
as the "copy room"; instead,
it has been converted for an
English resource room under
the responsibility of Mrs. Sue
Williams, chairman of the
department, who hurries about
gathering materials requested
by teachers and keeping up
with supplies.
The resource room is "one
of the best advancements
made in the English
department," according to
Mrs. Williams.
In the room were kept
stencils, extra copies of
reading materials, magazines,
paperback books, and kits for
the grammar and literature
modules.
The department's major
goals were "to follow the
curriculum guide more closely
and demonstrate more
objectively the degree of
learning which has been
reached," explained Mrs.
Williams.
With the production of the
musical, the English
department aided by making
posters and writing skits to be
performed in
d~ily
announcements.
