They are (from left) Bonnie Frazier, Cathie Morris, Jeri Hein, Gary Rodgers, Tom Witt, Sharon Troutman, Carol Robertson, and Carol Stevens. English Department Active in Many Projects Although many persons have the erroneous idea that English, as taught in school, is just the grammar rules and drill, a glance at the many activities in which English students participate would soon convince anyone that this department is one of the most versatile in any school curriculum. Ranging through the wide scope of composition, spelling, vocabulary, literature in all its many types, drama (both written and enacted), the many kinds of speech (individual and group), and the complexity of journalism and work, the student of English has many opportunities to excel in curricular as well as extra-curricular activities. John Miller, who has spent much time this year developing debate at AUHS, has entered his novice teams in tournaments at Excelside Lynnwood, and Redlands. To encourage junior high students to participate, demonstration debates have been given at Fremont. On May 15 and 16, Anahelm will host the Orange County Speech Tournament. Western High School will be the scene of the Friday, May 20 contests, while our own camp will be used on Saturday.
