Pro zeieney In Conversation Stressed Today's student lives in a world strengthened by personal communicationg he must converse with world neighbors in their native tongues. At E. H. S. the path to this goal lay in carefully co-ordinating work in the classroom with labora- tory experiences. In the lab Mrs. Matz and Mrs. Siegelbaum evaluated enunciation in Spanish, while Mr. Hartzell checked German grammar. Mr. Ortt treated Latin classes to a tour through ancient Rome. In addition to her classes fran- caises , Mrs. Beckner taught a newly added class in psychology where students probed the mysteries of human behavior. Mr. Schaadt, a fellow French teacher, also served as coach of dramatics and speech.

Through Development Of Expression To keep pace with our bustling society, the English department stressed the necessity for articulate expression in speaking and in writing. To achieve this goal members of the department conducted a program ranging from basic to polished skills. After receiving basic grammar in junior high, students continued a progressive program climaxed in their senior year with a rigorous study of vocabulary. This year creative writing was offered to students who wished to develop proficiency in writing. Under the in- struction of Mrs. Bieber and Mr. Johns, they delved into new realms of essays, poems, and editorials, as well as advanced work in compo- sition. Mrs. Bieber's interests extended to advis- ing the Tattler and National Honor Society. Mr. Johns also coached track and assisted in foot- ball in his after-school hours. Those interested in the works of famous authors could take part in a Literary Guild. Under the leadership of Mrs. Moyer, adviser, and Sally Wagner, president, the club discussed authors ranging from Ian Fleming to George Orwell. LANGUAGE ARTS, Grade 7-8: SHARON L. LElBg BARBARA L.
