The highest level is predominantly ENGLISH, LATIN, and LIBRARY space. Rooms 10, 11, 12, and 13 all serve their functions for this department. For a freshman in room ll , English may meal. anything from the basic parts of speech, to the Reader's Digest, or a good short story in the literature book. A sophomore may think of English in terms of Silas Marner or lulius Caesar or writing or vocabulary. The sophomores are divided between room ll and room 12 for their classes , so different people may refer to a different number as being the English room. The same goes for the juniors, although the balance of them are taught in room 12. Its cold atmosphere may serve as an excellent setting for the C-lemation of Sam McGee or other poetry, speeches, short stories, or even grammar review. The seniors, of course, have begun to experience Willie Shakespeare, Chaucer and Milton as old friends: to try their hands at creative works: and to express themselves with the great- est fluency. All this, of course, is accomplished through the ADVANCED LITERATURE and SPEECH classes which are also held in room 12-. TOP: Mickey and Diana seem to be quite interested in one of Mr. McDowell's drawings illustrating the correct use of grammar. MIDDLE: What's the matter, Marilyn? Isn't Kenny diagramming that sentence right? Carole doesn't seem to mind. BOTTOM: Wally Foster finds an appreciative audience in English III as he gives a report.

S equa lon' Wadtemaficd Z5 Am We all know that 2-r2 : 4, but high school math is more complicated than that, for high school students must learn all about equations , exponents , and graphs. The fundamentals of math--addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division--are offered the freshman year in a course known as GENERAL MATHEMATICS. The freshmen are also offered another course--ALGEBRA . Here, factors, radicals and x , which used to be Greek to them become English. Progressing up the ladder of knowledge, tenth graders have only to look outside to be able to see examples of GEOMETRY. By the use of theorems they learn that these geometric forms can be resolved into definite areas such as circles, squares or triangles. At the top of the ladder, we find ADVANCED ALGEBRA and SOLID GEOMETRY. These courses are taken by the girls and boys who wish to prepare for college. These are often called the brains , technically they are the ones who have the perseverance to learn about quadratics, cubes, and parallelepiped. Oh yes, we mustn't forget about CONSUMER'S MATH, which prepares the students for the happenings of everyday life. Iay, Fred, and Iudy seem to be very interested in.so1id geometry I wonder if those little cubes have anything to do with it? 21

Our librarian does her utmost to keep it stocked with everything from moderr history to dating problems. That's not to mention the much-used fiction locker located in the corner. The librarian also takes over room 10 one period per day for the LATIN class. This romance language offers those interested a greater background of our own English language and an opportunity to learn the basics of a college preparatory course. From conjugations to mythology, it's work but it's interesting. It's also on third that the germs of dramatic productions are hatched. So be you interested in LATIN, ENGLISH, drama or just a good book, they can all be found on that last level. TOP: Sandra and Vivian Uy to figure out a Latin sentence, as they have been asked to put it on the board. MIDDLE: The study hall is very busy this period--eventually many of these students will go into the library fupper middle of picturel to get reference or reading books. BOTTOM: Bev makes a good Lady Macbeth in this sleepwalking scene, while the physician and nurse stand by.
