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.

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.

VOCATIONAL CLASSES ARE OUR Ivan Graves diligently sands the rough spots on the board to obtain the desired texture for his shop project. One of the agricultural students helps harvest the corn field owned and farmed by the high school. ? x. 24 Vocational classes and organizations are important to the AHS general program. Many farm projects were carried out on a practical scale by each mem- ber during the year. Not only were these profit- able financially, but also they provided the super- vised experience needed to make successful farmers. Industrious “shop” students develop their talents in numerous fields—wood, foundry, welding, sheet metal, and the print shop. Under the careful supervision of Miss Mary C. Wood, shorthand characters slowly begin to make sense, and before the year is ended students are “taking letters” quickly and accurately. By the end of the school year, typing has advanced from that famous “hunt and peck” method to a very fast and accurate system. Sometimes home economics classes can be fun. This year some of the girls made stuffed animals. Others made clothes that they can model for their friends and relatives. ere 3 iad é eS ee uae 8 Fowm oats aan ™ BR, em a, ee ” Bill Mertens, Larry Wilks, Larry Springer, and Roland Seiler raise quality swine as part of F.F.A. projects.
