COMMUNICATIONS IMPROVED The Devils’ Journal was granted a chapter member- ship to the Quill and Scroll Society in 1962. Last December there were three staff members honored with individual memberships. Dee Lynn Brown, Cyn- thia Friend, and Kendra Weiler have met the high standards set by the Society and are active in keep- ing the standards at a high level. The two speech classes presented two one-act plays to junior high students. These were “All On A Satur- day Morning” and “The Leading Lady’. During the year, these classes performed “Visit To A Small Planet,” “Journey to Trenton’, “Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama’‘s Hung You In The Closet, and I’m Feeling So Sad” to several other classes at AHS. Besides pre- senting radio plays and short skits, the classes pre- sented a group skit on the last day of school. Then you whip and whip and whip Bill Tharpe demon- strates to his speech class just how easy it is to make Whip and Chill. ZZ gilt st Sergy, AHS attains another first. Kendra Weiler, Dee Lynn Brown, and Cynthia Friend are charter members of Quill and Scroil.

SCIENCE INTENSIHIES PLANS The science curriculum of Auburn High School is both varied and ambitious in scope. Three science fields are offered. Biology, chemistry, and physics are the pri- mary sciences, with advanced biology, advanced chemistry, and physical science also presented to the students. Among several field trips taken by these classes was a visit by the physical science class to radio station WKJG in Fort Wayne. Jerry Cripe, Auburn High School’s top scientist, re- ceived an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C., for a week to compete for a Westinghouse scholar- ship. Jerry was among 40 selected from over 30,000 en- trants by obtaining high scores on an achievement test and submitting a science research project. All national winners held a public exhibition of their projects. The students had worked on these projects during their spare time and during summer vaca- tions. At the end of the week, awards were made, with AHS’s Jerry Cripe being the proud recipient of a $250 scholarship. Jerry Cripe achieved the honor of being named as one of America’s top 40 young scientists of 1966 displaying much prom- ise in the near future. This honor was given to Jerry by Westing- house Corp. 21

BY PRACIICAL LEARNING. AHS has increased its language program to inc lude several years of different languages. At present, three years of French, two years of Spanish, two years of Latin, and two years of German are offered to students. More and more students are becoming interested in foreign languages probably because of the ever-expanding scope of today’s business world. The audio-visual program encompasses all areas of the curriculum. Not only do teachers use the ma- terials in their presentations, but also the students are encouraged to utilize them in their class work. Films, records, tapes, filmstrips, slides, and trans- parencies have enhanced teaching and made subject matter more meaningful. Language students listen and respond to records to better com- prehend their day’s lesson. Math students are aided by the overhead projector. Here, Mrs. Underclassmen are well on their way to learning to communicate Teter more clearly illustrates a difficult problem. in the German language, a language other than their own. 23
