Challenges Conquered By Freshmen In English Trips outside as each season passed, thinking about your career, and pretending youlre a famous performer are all part of what the freshmen did in their English classes. Career contracts developed by Mr. Horn were to help the students be responsible and capable so they would be prepared for the challenges in their life. Most students enjoyed doing this because they liked to work at their own pace. The students chosen to be in the creative writing class were selected by their eighth grade English teachers. These students were good in every part of English but did exceptionally well in grammar. The creative writing classes concentrated mostly on improving the students writing skills. One of the students favorite writing pro- jects were impressions. They did these each season when the scenery in the woods was different. The speech and drama class also did many interest- ing projects. Often, they put on skits and plays. Some of the productions performed by this class were A Haunted House and Carol Burnett skits.

Pupils Learn Crafts In Unified Arts The one thing that helps students the most is when they do projects on their own, so that they get hands- on experience. Such were the words of industrial arts teacher Mr. Robert Steinbrecher, and other unified arts teachers share his feelings. Appropriately, those activities which were viewed as the most helpful were those which showed students the basics of each course as well as forcing them to think and be creative. Among these were a wood project in industrial arts tcarving designsi, drawing landscapes in art, and block printing tthe carving of images on blocks for transferral to paperi, also in art. Students had many favorite projects, but some of the more popular ones were silk screen printing twhere de- signs are printed on T-shirtsi, the launching of home- made rockets, and tempra painting working on post- ersi. These activities have brightened the year for many students, and doubtless will continue to brighten years for future students. Waters. Ryan Wayton.
