Chapter II Studies Throughout the year, students and teachers have become a large part of the East Side Story. This year two new classes, Spanish and effective living, were added to the curriculum. The different specialized areas of study offered at East Side enable students to select a course suited to their needs and desires. This necessary chapter was one which enriched each student's life.

Languages in our school enable Students listen to a recording of Macbeth in senior English class. Mr. McKee's freshman English class learns about the virtues of the Educational Developmental Laboratories' controlled reading program. Jerry Lambert delivers an entertaining speech which amuses members of the second hour speech class. NAPPANEE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Progress Is Our Project English, a class in which the students learn the basic fundamentals and mechanics of our language, is offered in two forms: college preparatory and practical. College preparatory classes emphasize composition writing by re- quiring one theme a week. This enables the student to develop his ability to ex- press himself clearly and to use cor- rectly the knowledge of our language. Practical English students learn the basic principles of written and spoken communication and how to apply it to daily life. In both courses literature is studied during the second semester. The seniors study English literature, the juniors American literature, and the sophomores and freshmen general literature courses. In these classes students are helped to overcome reading difficulty and to improve techniques, speed, and interpretation. Students enrolled in speech class are trained in correct, fluent, and persuasive public speaking. In addition to their class- room speeches and discussions, they pre- sent a skit at Halloween and a program at Christmas time.
