Learning Is a Many Sided Thing Mr. John Sonders speaks to an economics class about the steps in settling labor-management disputes, and he adds some information about labor organization in a typical corporation. Classes are not limited to the classroom discussion and normal activities c arried on each day; supple- mentary projects are common. Outside speakers tell of their own experiences which pertain to the stu- dents’ futures, while exercises done by the students themselves give them an insight to practical appli- cation of their studies. This extra material adds in- terest as well as addition information to classroom work. Close examination of Sylvia, a python, is a rare experience, but these members of Miss Virginia Esten ' s biology class gained this nooortunity. l-r — Joe Jeffries, Dan Fary, Charmaine Kubisz. Mr. Bert Herbert of the Research and Develop- ment Division, Inland Steel Company, seems to be making his point well as he speaks to a physics class.

Academics Aids School, Study One of the most useful groups in the school is the Library Staff, which con- sists of students chosen by the librarian, Mrs. Jessica Rich. Members check books in and out, assist in keeping order, and give aid to the students in any possible way. Experience which the staff gains during their work is useful after graduation. The Oil Panel is made up of five honor students and sponsored by Mr. Norman Beyer. This panel travels to different clubs and organizations in the area to present a program on the pe- troleum industry. Topics which they discuss include conservation, marketing, and the tax problems concerning oil de- pletion allowances.

Page Twenty-two Crescent City Jazz Club sponsored Ira Sullivan ' s band in a program illustrating the evolution of jazz in America. Auditoriums Academic-wise, auditoriums added special infor- mation to classroom study; they provided interesting entertainment while giving the student a better- rounded education. The band exhibited its abilities in a session, and Mr. C. J. Albrecht again brought a narrated program of his explorations. Sci-Math Club sponsored an auditorium about atomic energy, students were shown how to “Dress Right” in an- other, and the association candidates gave qualifi- cations in auditorium speeches. Speakers were brought in to share their experiences with the au- dience; Junior Red Cross sponsored one of these. Spanish Club showed dances of Latin America in their program.
