Daily Except Saturday and Sunday Six hours a day, five days a week, 36 weeks a year Clark students are spectators, members or participants in classes such as these. The variety of classes offered prepares GRC pupils for the future while teaching them of the past. Three courses are offered at Clark: college prepara¬ tory, commercial and general. The classes a student elects, with the help of his counselor, depend on the course he is following. Each has specific requirements for its completion. All students, however, are required to take health, two years of physical education, three years of social studies, English, science and mathe¬ matics (the number of years depending of the course being pursued). Liver, lungs, heart ... In Mr. Norman Banas’ health class Carol Biel and Donna Bragiel prove nothing here has changed in 25 years. Pat Wachel, Marge Lattak and Irene Horvat learn how to operate two new pieces of business machinery. Stress is proportional to strain according to Hooke’s Law and that is what Robert Blasko and Tony Priesol are demonstrating in physics. 10

Clarkites Strive to Perfect In order to meet the wants and needs of Clark stu¬ dents, a German class was added to the curriculum this year. Along with Latin and Spanish, the other languages offered at Clark, German prepares college preparatory students for further and advanced study. While learning the mechanics of the language stu¬ dents also become acquainted with the country and the people from which it is derived. Shop, sewing and cooking help to prepare Clarkites for their future, whether the student plans to have a career in one of these fields or to use the skill in his daily life. Besides the smashed thumbs, pricked fin¬ gers and burned morsels gained throughout the year, students pursuing these courses gain much knowledge and skill. In addition they profit by material items. Shop classes construct useful articles, sewing classes make various pieces of clothing which they model in their annal style show and the cooking classes gain in more ways than one by the luscious goodies they concoct! In Mrs. Rebckah Eddy’s German class, Camille Kessler puzzles over a translation while David McClure and Marcia McCutchcon trans¬ late ‘Der Ratze fangt die Maus’. While Joan Dubeck and Kay Kollmar work at sewing machines, Annette Gajewski fits Maryann Koselke’s blouse for her.
