Bill Crummit and Charles
Hill, Pfeiffer students; Jon
Lefler, a graduate of Senior
High; and I, spoke and sang
during lunch period, Friday,
October 13.
Charles, Jon, and I gave our
personal testimonies. Then we
sang songs we wrote concerning
our belief in the Lord.
The purpose was to carry out
the Student Council theme,
“Getting It Together,” and the
response was great. Students
and teachers began to sing
along with us. During the last
song, everyone held hands and
sang, “We are one in the Spirit,
we are one in the Lord.”
Because participation was so
great. Bill and Charles came
back Friday, October 27.

Because of the tremendous
success of these events and
others. Senior High is really
beginning to “Get It Together.”
Smoke seeps out from under
the door of room 214. A curious
sophomore pauses to peek in the
window only to see a blanket of
smog. He detects the smell of
coffee. Pressing his ear to the
door, he hears pages turning at
a furious pace, pencil points
tapping on splintered tables,
and worried voices droning on
and on.
What is this mystery? It’s not
as mysterious as it seems.
Seven English teachers meet
each day to plan their strategy.
These teachers are the ones who
are instructing the new courses
being offered to all students this
quarter.
Mrs. Burleson leads a class in
Creative Thinking second per
iod and a Science Fiction class
fifth period. Mythology is
offered fourth period, taught by
Mrs. Almond. Mass Media,
offered second, third, and fifth
periods, is instructed by Mrs.
Hatfield.
Each class includes instruc
tion in the skills of reading,
writing, speaking, and listen
ing.
The program may be conti
nued during the third and fourth
quarters if it proves to be
successful; however, its suc
cess depends on the interests
and growth of the students.
Black Literature is being
taught first period by Mrs.
Almond. Literature of the Bible
is offered all periods but second,
and is being taught by Mrs.
Burleson and Miss Misen-
heimer. Literature of the

Speed Reading during second,
third, and fifth periods. Litera
ture of Sports, taught by Mrs.
