World History, Grade and High School Physical Education Uunior Sponsor, G-Club Sponsor, Byron Hofmeister WORLD HISTORY students divided their time be- tween a textbook and workbook which covered events of ancient times. The Middle Ages , Feudal Lords , and Prehistoric Man are examples of movies which brought our textbook to life. In Order to keep students posted on up-to-date news, the classes read the current events paper, Our Times and saw monthly News Report Movies . BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION periods were usually started with good old calisthenics, the middle half for games, and then off for a refreshing shower. In the fall, touch football, relay races, and soccer occupied most of the class period. During the winter rough and ready battleball, basketball, and volley- ball were the favorite indoor sports. When spring rolled around, softball was added to the list of games. LEFT: Are all pyramids as successful as this when not in front of a camera?

AMERICAN LITERATURE classes read selected 20th century and 19th century literature. Dur- ing their study of the short story, the personal essay, and poetry, students spent about one-third of the time on composition in each form. Results this year were very good. An anthology to include the best creative writing is being prepared. The Juniors also have several entries in state and national poetry contests. SOPHOMORE ENGLISH classes had the advant- age of the fine, new anthology, Exploring Life Through Literature , with the accompanying Think It Through book, This new type of stu- dent workbook includes much new material of intrinsic interest, for improving reading skills, insuring vocabulary growth, improving judgment, and promoting ability to fuse information and make inferences, as well as providing practice in recognizing interests and motives of characters. Both grades used spelling-completion test books, which provided a new approach to mastery of difficulties. Sound films and film strips on gram- mar and punctuation were used. The recordings of prose and poetry were used with very good effect, and the opaque projector proved extreme- ly practical in English classes, especially when used to call attention to common errors in stu- dent papers. 18 Aletha Humphreys B.A. Sioux Falls College: Chicago Musical College: Ed.
