ART 9 The ninth grade art class has engaged in making repeated designs, a largo number of which were dis- played in their homeroom. They have also been en- gaged in figure drawings, abstract designs and drawing of faces. Christmas Cards were made by the class in that season, but there is no season for lettering, which can be done at any time. They also did some lettering. In this candid some members of the class are busily making decorations for the Crystal Ball”. ART 10 David Sweigart is touching up a part of the large decorations which had boon drawn and sot up in the Christmas season.

CHEMISTRY 11 12 Eugene LaFolletle, Jcrro Gchris, and Garvin Binga- man are working and studying an experiment on carbon dioxide in chemistry class under the supervision of Mr. Sell. After completing the experiment, the class writes the whole demonstration for their notebooks. If a chem- istry student comes reeling down the hall, you can be sure ho has probably gotten a smell of some experiment. GERMAN 12 Subjunctive, passive voice! My. what grammatical terms to speak the language of many of our ancestors! says Grace Hinnershitz as she and seven other class members put an exercise of conditional sentences on the blackboard for correction. In the course, besides reading and conversation with fairy-tale and novel texts, is at least one project. The class this year has chosen to do aluminum bowl and tray etching.

 ntjfidl ant I Ot VPin9 ENGLISH 9 Mae Degler is shown answering a question in the ninth grade English class. Robert Bender in the front seat is following and checking her answer in the Eng- lish book. The class divides its time on three phases of English. Literature is probably the most popular study. Work in using English in discussion, speeches, and letter writing plus the work in grammar round out the year. ENGLISH 10 Ruth Degler is anxious to answer another question about a literature story that is being studied in Mr. Spare's English class. Some of the most popular weeks of the course were spent studying great stories in liter- ature; such as, Julius Caesar and Silas Marner. The class also enjoyed writing paragraphs throughout the year. ENGLISH 11 The Junior class play. Miss Chatterbox, was pre- sented December 10, 1953. at the Bernville Community Hall, with Mr. Spare as the director. Some of the cast were: Warner Conway—Charles Seifrit, Thyra Conway —Bernice Luckenbill. and Judy Conway—Catherine Rioser, who was Miss Chatterbox. The class also studies the use of the library, essays, paragraphing, and literature. TYPING 12 Typing is a subject that every senior has taken this year. When you type, you are not supposed to look at the keyboard; and to make sure, at least try to make sure. Miss Riegol. who is the overseer for the typing class, comes around to check up on whether they have their lessons up-to-date or whether they are lagging on behind. She supplies the necessary equipment for them. She also applies her voice when necessary. As a rule typing is a fine subject; and. of course, it is noisy, not only from the typewriters alone, but from the seniors who are operating them. Twenty-one
