Research paper class offered A new class was offered this year as an alt- ernative to second semester government for interested seniors. Research Paper, taught by Mr. Larry Shrader, was designed for stu- dents who are good at writing and research. Social Studies activities numbered high: classes went to Criminal Court, City Hall, Park and School Board meetings, and City Council and Plan Commision meetings. Former warden of the Michigan City State Prison and a representative from N1PSCO came as guest speakers, and U.S. History students put up bicentennial decorations in both Principal Deal ' s office and Mr. Shrader s room. More foreign language courses were offered on all levels this year, and with the mid- year retirement of French and English teacher Mrs. Pat Friedrich, guidance counselor Mrs. Janet Robbins took over some classes. Chi- cago welcomed foreign language clubs members on their annual day of fun and learning. 1. Surrounding an American bicentennial flag Cathy Brown and Karen Chontos put presidential photos by it. 2.

New classes change old English course Along with the required grammar, juniors were given a choice of nine week courses in vocab- ulary, short stories, nineteenth century authors, twentieth century authors, and war and its literature. This offered students a .change in the traditional English course, and gave them a chance to have a variety of dif- ferent teachers. Besides gaining a broader view of what the Bible includes, students in the Biblical Lit- erature class visited a Jewish temple to learn more about those peoples which they studied in the Old Testament. By looking at all aspects of the theatre, drama students had an opportunity to view it as an art form and also gained good exper- ience for college or community theatre. In addition to helping with many of the produc- tions, drama students studied the history of the theatre, acting, make-up, costuming, props, production, lighting, and set design. In the spring they had a student teacher. 1. To make the perfect meal, senior Sue Shapely demonstrates how to fix a submarine sandwich. 2. Cutting a sheet cake at her party, Mrs. Friedrich plans to retire after teaching French and English. 3. Applying make-up ideas to junior Jodee Truitt ' s face gives her a different appearance. 4. Gathering information for a controversial issue, Betty Jack- son and Lisa Mazurek work on a editorial. 5. Doing a commercial for a television show in mass media, Mary Petro advertises a special plant food. 6. Selling razor blades to fellow classmen is not easily done as Joe Frisco realizes in mass media. 16 English, Drama
