Junior Bob Welshons attempts to keep the force on the cart constant as he works on another lab in Physics B. What appears to be a magic act is just Mr. Hartman showing Bob Dean and Greg Allen a chemistry experiment. Using the auditorium as a classroom, Mr. Hilmer hands out tests to large-group session algebra students. 28 Science, Math

Language Week— Don't Speak English’ Se اہ‎ : | | Halls plastered with signs in foreign tongues, e پر‎ : teachers and students nonchalantly strolling about clad in saris, Bavarian shorts, or African robes, an assembly with skits, songs, and jokes—these were some of the features of Foreign Language Week. There was a bakesale—with African Congo Squares, Kringla, Chinese almond cookies, German chocolate pretzels, Mexican wedding cakes, and French rolled wafers. Instead of the usual snatches of radio news, golden oldies, and solid newies, Strauss waltzes, Mexican hat dances, and agonized Italian arias poured fourth to signal times for classes to change. Even the signs on the doors were educational. Language students lettered signs in the four languages taught at the high school— French, Spanish, German, and Latin—for classes, restrooms, drinking fountains, and everything else in sight. Language students also attended plays at several colleges, went on trips to Quebec in April and Mexico in June, heard native speakers, and prepared dinners featuring foreign specialties.

Math, science add self pacing Self-pacing, changes in classes, and new courses added variety to math and science programs this year. Self-pacing plans were incorporated into science; both Physics A and Chemistry A were taught in this way. In other changes room 101 was changed into a science IMC, complete with a computer terminal, and Biology A was added to the list of science courses. Biology A is a sur- vey of living things in less depth than Biology B. The big change in math was the addition and subtraction of large group. After the first semester the algebra classes were broken down into the conventional kind of classes. Large group didn't work because it didn't reach all the students, instructors said. The addition of nine new calculators were a welcome sight to the students who worked in the math IMC.
