20 Acting out The King and I are Cammy Cameron, Jill Communications stressed in English. 1 Speaking and writing, the basic forms of communication, are stressed during the high school years. A minimum of three years are re- quired for a general diploma and college-bound students take in a fourth year. The importance of English cannot be over-estimated since we i use it every day of our lives. Freshmen are introduced to grammar and literature. Charles Dickens' Great Expecta- . tions is covered in all classes. The Sophomores carry on in the same man- ner with a little theme writing thrown in for good measure. A good part of the year is spent on George Eliot's Silas Marnerf' When a student becomes a Junior, it means that he is growing up and soon will become an adult member of the community. This role brings with it responsibility which the student must meet. To help prepare for this a course in Speech is given. This is paired with a semester of literature and poetry appreciation. S If a Senior wishes to go to college, he must l l take Advanced Compositiong then cope with the cries of Lady MacBeth's Out, damned y . spot! in English 7. Mary Jane Cookingham lends john Ceglarek a few dollars for his speech on prohibition. English 7 students enjoy Elizabethan period studies with Mr. Jim Glick.

Laboratory experiments aid student understanding. E,ff,f:v..f ffg , gn- K' 5 . ,, ,-gli K ti e W Ti' a .ii . t.. . p Z i Q Y i Q i Mr. Gasiorowski laughs at one of his own jokes in biology class. To a sophomore taking his first year of sci- ence, biology, working in the laboratories is a fascinating experience. The laboratories offer a break in a day of sitting and a chance to move freely. Biology students dissect everything in- cluding worms, crayfish, frogs, fish, pigs - and teachers. Chemistry students test the scope of their imaginations when analyzing unknown mate- rials to find their chemical content. Odors of every description flow into the halls as students make chlorine gas and sulfur products. Putting the equipment together often taxes the students' skills more than the experiment itself. Third year science students test the theories of Aristotle, Newton, Einstein in physics. A new approach to physics-PSSC-involves the use of elaborate equipment such as the ripple tank. Yet both the traditional and new physics are basically the same course-the study of the transmission and nature of energy and matter. . Mr. Hautman looks on while Dick Jones takes Francis Williams' blood pressure. Cindy Clack's reflection is seen in the small mirror of a microscope. 19
