Class variety, extra projects feed imagination For the Language Department, maintaining interest and promoting originality were often accomplished through extra credit, group projects, and class discussions. For extra credit the French classes were en- couraged to combine their knowl- edge and culinary talents into French bread, Napoleons, French cheese, and Petit Fours. The ad- vanced Spanish classes wrote and dramatized their own plays in Spanish. lVliss Bundrick's remedial English class played a large version of Scrabble which developed their spelling and vocabulary. Senior com- position classes gave flve minute speeches describing the ideas from their term papers. The Sophomore Honors classes were on the new packet system in which each per- son worked individually and pro- gressed at his own rate to meet the number of packets required. LANGUAGE ARTS 13

Election unit stirs political, civic interest lVlore young people should be- come involved in their government. This was the message that lVlr. Elwood Hillis, Republican Congress- man from the fifth district, tried to relay to the social studies students gathered in the auditorium two weeks before the election. He and his opponent, Democrat lVlrs. Katie Williams, elaborated further on their stands regarding the war in Viet Nam, abortion, amnesty, and mari- juana. Anderson High School invited these two candidates and several local candidates to speak in partial fulfillment of the pre-election unit required by the Indiana Election Law. Class discussions and films helped raise student interest while meeting this law. lVlr. Jack Nicholson traveled with 35 students to Washington, D. C. during spring vacation. They visited Nlount Vernon, the Kennedy Center, the foreign embassies, and the White House. Far right: Mike Pope finds that the physical features of China can be learned through labeling maps.
