ENGLISH IV Gazing on historical landmarks and English structures, Tom O'Rourke, Barbara Devine, and Vince Poerio, English IV students, enjoy a pic- turesque look over the countryside Shakespeare and Chaucer portrayed in their writings. Our regular English courses are supplemented by classes in drama and speech, creative writing and world literature, and journalism. SPEECH With emphatic gestures and vivid expres- sions, Dave Utermark makes an informal talk during second hour Speech class. The students learn that voice, actions, emphasis, and the selec- tion of Words are all important in the delivery of effective discourse. Speech is defined as the expression of thoughts in a clear manner. lt is evident then that good speech is highly important to an indi- vidual. ,, , PLANE GEOMETRY Mr. Andrews, is line DB equal to DA? asks Tom Egar. Sophomore plane geometry students cram their heads with theorems, postulates, and axioms in an attempt to master the skills of the ancient Greeks. These skills are still of great value in many modern occupations. The main objective of geometry is to find the proof of a problem, not by observation or meas- urement alone, but also by logical reasoning.

Chemistry-the course where pungent odors, multicolored clouds, and the shattering of test tubes are just an every-day lab occurrence for Mr. Nelson's proteges. This first taste of smoke and smell may lead some students into that field as their life's work. Physics class is where the Bloom student is first introduced to instruments which measure light and electricity, scientific terminology, and the practical application of higher mathematics. Basically, all mechanical apparatus is derived from a law of physics. Left to right: C. Schomas, V. Buonadona, L. Doepp, D. Rocha. I

Let's take a peek at the new class in Mr. Hippensteel's room. lt's called music theory and is a study of music throughout the world. Although it is for piano students, anyone who has interest or talent in music finds this course stimulating and entertaining. Here We see Edna joracz at the blackboard taking over for the teacher.
