Tom jones and Jim Birnbaum check specifications for the wiseman model. Projects from the art classes often fill the showcases with objects to attract the attention of every Hillite and visitor. Although art stu- dents are given definite assignments, they use their imaginations to the greatest when fulfilling them. The students enter their posters in con- tests, with many of them winning awards. Clay work, jewelry, and many different de- signs made from clay are some of the con- structive, and more pleasant, tasks of the crafts classes. These classes produce many things the students themselves can use. Mechanical and architectural drawing are very serious courses. These are required for those who long to be engineers or architects. The curriculum calls for deep concentration and very strict attention to details. Industrial arts teaches boys to work with wood and metal safely. These students make things very useful for their daily lives. 1 John Herman works with clay in his crafts class

In line with administration policy to provide the best instruction for all students, the English Department offers classes on three levels: ac- celerated, academic, and basic. The six new accelerated classes move at a faster pace. Ad- mission to these special classes is based on teacher recommendation, and grammer and reading tests. Academic classes aim at a com- prehensive program in all phases of English, while basic concentrate on fundamental skills and practical application. Accepting the theory that students learn by doing, the program puts a premium on compo- sition, both oral and written. Impromptu, expo- sition, descriptive, and research themes are re- quired. Precis, paraphrases, character sketches, interpretations, and book reports allow students to organize and present their ideas. The cul- mination for seniors is the thousand word re- search theme.
