Stu- dents who chose a language class improved their skills to develop good learning skills and study habits. Oh English, again? was a famil- iar saying around B and C buildings. Students sometimes felt that Eng- Iish was not their favorite subject, however, the English teachers tried to interest the students with the mini-courses offered. These skills in English can be put to good use in a professional career later in life. Students enrolled in a mini-course in English could do anything from reading books in books and ideas to giving a movie review for radio and t.v. Other courses included in the program were: mystery and terror, myth and folklore, and man and ani- mals. Miss Carol Hinshaw, who recently taught in Florida and at Hutchinson, was a new teacher added to the de- partment. She said, I think the teachers and students are very pleasant and fun to work with. Walking through C-building stu- dents may have heard bits and pieces of language that were foreign to their ears. Students were heard singing in Spanish, acting out plays in German, and taking oral tests in French class. Spanish students took top honors in the Concurso, a contest where students expressed their talent by reciting poetry and prose, singing a Spanish song, or putting on a play. The International Dinner was held in December. German, French, and Spanish students prepared their fa- vorite foreign dish, which they took tothe dinner. Held in the 4-H build- ing, the food eaten included every- thing from the common taco to a French souffle. Students could be seen throwing darts and smashing confetti eggs at the annual French Mardi Gras. French students also participated in the French Concour, a contest held at WSU for all French students in Kansas. One big problem that students had in taking a foreign language was learning to speak with an accent. Students also had to learn how to stress the accent and in the right places. f'5r s-- N E 2 S I :S . ,.4' 'X Sul Q Q-' v'inl1-.-

Problems confront liaison Despite the fact that the purpose of the liaison committee was to pro- vide a direct pipeline between stu- dents and administration, few stu- dents were aware ofthe committee's existance as the year began. ln order to increase student aware- ness of the committee, they sent out a notice in October to all classes to explain their purpose and encourage other students to contact them with their problems and compliments. Later in the year the committee conducted a survey to determine the possible changes and modifications of the policies, practices, and activities at Campus High. The committee was divided into three committees: school policies, athletics and activities, and curricu- lum and course study, to allow stu- dents to learn more about the specific functions of each area. The committee brought many items to the attention of the adminis- tration, including the possibility of open lunch and the rule of requiring students to walk on sidewalks in the winter, when the sidewalks were pos- sibly less safe than the grass. I feel like the committee took some positive steps in the improve- ment of our school policies and activi- ties, stated chairman of the commit- tee, Scott Love. 1 1!
