Languages A second-year French class conscientiously studies French verbs and con- Mrs. Phoebe Orebaugh jugations in the lab. Mr. William Kyger An Arab and three Japanese represent the Spanish classes in the Christmas Program. Students at Broadway High are given an opportunity to study two foreign lan¬ guages, French and Spanish, each two-year courses. This year the French I classes began use of the Audio-Lingual Material, which has been used by the Spanish classes for the past three years. This method in the first year is devoted to developing speaking and listening comprehension. In second year, language students take up reading and writing while still practicing their other skills. The French II classes continue to study the basics of grammar and pronunciation with the old method. They subscribe to a French magazine Paris-Match and a news¬ paper La Jeunesse. Both French I and French II students are encouraged to corre¬ spond with French-speaking pen pals. 17

Art department Susan Reamer, Gene Miller, Donna Smith, and Sunny Myrvang add finishing touches to art class Christmas decorations. Broadway’s art department affords the creative student a chance for self-expression and independence in working with several branches of the fine arts, painting, drawing, and inkwork. Students employ their ingenuity and skill in craft designs and decorations. Besides fashioning miniature cottages, tree ornaments and decorated candles, students designed modern-art trees for the Christmas season. In work, pictures included water-fowl designs, fruit impres¬ sions, and dancing poses. This year’s classes worked with sterling silver and enameled jewelry. Perhaps the major feat of the art department this year was the preparation of the backdrop scenery by Art II stu¬ dents for the November Operetta, Creatures of Impulse. The landscape depicted was that of a quaint village in its rustic surroundings. Unlike many other courses offered at Broadway High School, approximately ninety-five per cent of the study in¬ volved in Art I and Art II is accomplished during class time. This adds to the enjoyment of the classes and relaxes homework tension. Becky Crider prepares rural backdrop scenery for the fall operetta. Creatures of Impulse. 16

Mathematics Students take consumer math, taught by Mr. Dodrill, as a preparatory course for business careers. From our first day in elementary school through our high school years and later during advanced study, mathematics plays a vital part in nearly every course we undertake. We use matn in every-day situa¬ tions as well as in vocational issues. Because of this great demand for mathematical skill, Broadway offers various courses designed to prepare its students for continued study and or for vocational goals. For stu¬ dents interested in a business career consumer math is offered. Algebra I and II, geometry, and analysis are available to college-bound students. In Algebra, number relations are investigated. Techniques of logical reasoning are explored in geometry classes. Finally, seniors may conclude high school math edu¬ cation in analysis class, where they receive basic prep¬ aration for future study.
