The next step in writing her paper is taking notes from the book. Coniugate a verb? Oh, that's easy, thinks Larry Parker. Melanie cheers, Melanie will cheer-, Melanie has cheered. En lish Preparef English, one of the maior subiects at Aldine is divdied into three levels which are linked together. First, there is Sophomore English. This course prepares the students -for Junior Eng- lish. Sophomore English teacher, Mrs. Anna Petru- sas stated that Sophomore English teaches the student to develop an appreciation for Literature The main approach to teaching is through lectur- ing, discussion and reading. Next comes Junior English, Mrs. Jody Tyson, says that the main purpose is to teach the stu- dent to express oneself both orally and in com- position form, also to read and to appreciate good literature. The main book used in teaching this course is An Anthology of American Litera- ture, which gives the student a cross section of the best works of our most famous authors. The third course that Aldine offers is Senior English. This course, according to Mrs. Willie Ermel, who teaches Senior English, Prepares the student for college in every way we hope. This course pertains mostly to composition, not much literature. If a student has no composition he will not pass College English. The main approach to teaching Senior English 'is through lecture, 'dem- onstration, and through practice, says Mrs. Ermel. Other courses offered to Seniors are: Journalism, Communicative Speech, and Business Communica- tion.

Biology Physics, Chemistry 20 Student' The Maior obiectives of the biology classes are to make students more conscious of their environ- ment and to desire to learn more about living things. Today, we live in a science oriented cul- ture, and it is essential that one be familiar with the basic concepts. A maiority of high school stu- dents take biology during their sophomore year. Chemistry and physics are taken by iuniors and seniors who have a desire to continue their study of science or have chosen a career that requires a knowledge of these. Each class employs laboratory work to illustrate or explain basic concepts and principles in addi- tion to regular classroom instruction. There are some field trips within the department each year such as trips to NASA for lectures and Houston Lighting and Power science day. In the spring of the year the biology students may take short field trips on the campus to gather specimens for study. Mr. Gene Marion and Mr. Carroll Haisty have both studied at special summer institutes for science teachers sponsored by the National Science Foundation. These classes are designed to improve the overall background of the science teacher in the United States. S K
