Juniors Continue to Develop Academic Skills Junior English students discuss poetry and its meaning man, or Spanish. Students paid strict attention to correct pronunciation in the audio-lingual method of foreign language study. Other popular classes among sophomores were typing, world history, art, music, clothing, and wood shop.

In bookkeeping, clothing, and advanced art classes, juniors de- veloped their technical skills and creative talents.
