American and English literature are stud- ied in the high school English classes. Above Dennis Smith gives an oral report on Beowulf in Mrs. Zeigler's English IV class. Beowulf, an epic poem, is the first written piece of English literature. Also stressed are outside reading, crea- tive writing, book reports and research papers. Left we find Susan Rogers of English III deeply involved in a paperback edition of SCARLET LETTER. Paperback editions of many of the classics are available to the English students.

Standardized IQ, aptitude, educational progress tests CSCAT, STEP, and DATI were administered to the var- ious grades. The guidance department helps students de- termine their course in life-what job is best for them, where, and if they should go to college. Below left, guidance counselor Mrs. Gray helps Carolyn Fant and Bruce Patterson decide which college is best for them.

Trained this summer at the Modern Foreign Language Institute, our teachers have set up a 'Language Lab' in which, with the aid of tapes and records, students may learn a language by hearing it and speak- ing it, as well as merely learning reading and grammar.
