Mr. Weeks takes I he floor to inform students of new procedures for the second semester and the new wing. Convocations expand a student ' s cultural interest Spaceball seems to he quite interesting for Alan Stewart and Richard Rollins. Columbia City Joint High School was entertained by a varied assortment of convocations this year. First on the agenda was a program featuring Madame Su- zanne, an international traveler. While skillfully sculp- turing a clay bust of one of the students, Madame Su- zanne maintained a witty discourse with the student body. A most unique convocation arrived in the form of Mr. Ken Henderson, who performed on a variety of instruments as he rolled over the gym floor on a motor- ized platform. Next to take the stage before our student body was Ronnie Mun, an Olympic gymnast, and his wife, Carol. In the course of their program they played a number of games and even involved two young people from the audience. Four members of the Winged Victory Singers from New York added their names to the guest book. Broad- way show tunes with a dash of popular music rounded out their performance. Completing the list of this type of convocations was the Manchester College Symphonic Band Playing a selection of classical and jazz tunes. In addition to these diversions were pep sessions, student council convocations, and informative convocations on the new wing. ) ' ellow bird, up high in papaya tree seems quite appropriate for Ken Henderson ' s Latin American song [est.

A building for learning . A place lo experiment Eagles grow new wing Resulting from years of planning and months of construction, Columbia City Joint High School is now the proud owner of a new academic wing. Bright lights, carpeted floors, floor to ceiling chalk boards, and shocking metal walls highlighted the added facilities. Regular classrooms were used by the math department, while junior and senior English and senior government classes held class in the large lecture hall that will seat nearly 300 students. These larger classes, which used approximately one-third of the hall for each class, often break into smaller groups and hold discussions in the little rooms to the north of the lecture hall. The biology department received entirely new facili- ties, including a classroom, a lab, and a greenhouse. Another department — business — also acquired a large area of the new wing. For the first time, this depart- ment has a separate room for business machines. The faculty was given the greatest change, for each department now has a room or small cubicle in which a teacher may counsel students. These rooms can be entered by students from the outside doors, but are joined by a private hall for teacher use only. They now also have a private lounge complete with soft drink and colTee machines.
