HIGH IDEALS AND NE W IDEAS Although most students know some foreign phrases, the student who has completed two years of a foreign language has mastered many more new and strange expressions. Frenchl and Spanish Il were added to the Cur- riculum this year. Latin was again a popular subject with over forty students learning about ancient civil- izatrons. Although many of the students who attempted to master these trying languages will not use their speak- ing knowledge to a great extent, they have learned much about the cultures of these countries. Junior Lee Ann Coy models an example of ancient Roman dress, as worn by all members to the Latin Banquet. Mrs. Davis checks on some French grammar as students present their work. Pam Spidel and Laurel Chandler point out scenic spots on some Spanish travel posters.

LANGUAGE, THE CORNERSTONE OF NATIONS, BUILDS Mrs. Wiseman patiently assists the members of her junior English class. Mrs. Recobs demonstrates the operation of the tacomatic machine to Linda Day. N81 Personification, alliteration, prepositional phrases. These are just a few of the new expressions introduced to the English students this year. While the seniors struggled with Macbeth, the freshmen enjoyed Great Expectations. The juniors presented Our Town in class while the sophomores staged Julius Caesar and The Miracle Worker. All classes also participated in the Vocabulary Workshop and Developmental Reading programs, as well as writing several themes each semester. The new tachomatic machine helped students in- crease their reading speeds and comprehensions, while the vocabulary exercises enlarged the students' use of words. With four years of English required, the students oflackson Central are well prepared for their step into the world of words.

.lCHS'ERS TAKE MANY STEPS TO DISCOVER Which wheels are turning in the heads of these juniors? Scientific experimentation is the basis for learning in a laboratory science. All Americans are affected directly or indirectly by the birth of the Space Age. We are now living in a world unheard of 40 years ago. How many people could visualize the rockets and cars that are second nature to us? Many of the famous scientists and mathematicians had their beginnings in little red school houses. A1- though we no longer attend little red school houses, many students are receiving instruction which may make future inventors or great scientists of them. The new math room equipment installed last sum- r mer is the pride and joy of Mr. Henricks. i201
