Next fall he will be a member of the faculty at Knox College. Mr. Swise received his baccalaureate degree from Knox College and his master's degree from Western Illinois University at Macomb. In working with his boys, whether in the classroom or on the kathletic field, Mr. Swise never becomes too busy to give something extra - a smile, a bit of advice, a pat on the back, a word of praise - a something that makes the recipient feel that he has avery special friend in his phis ed teacher. We all wish you the best of everything in your new field, Mr. Swise, and we respectfully dedicate this 1962 yearbook to you. w Xx X w ye. Administration Principal - Counselors KW Inez Jordan Harry M.

Classes W English Is Our Language During 1961-1962 we students similar to Johnny Junior High depicted in the main display case and in the window of a downtown store during National Education Week, made up thirty-one English classes. With our varying backgrounds, attitudes, and abilities, we ware directed toward certain skills and val- ues which are essential in our modern society, necessary in our lives at the present, and vital for our future. DiKUSSIOI Keeping in mind that English is our language, that it keeps changing, that it is controlled by the people who speak it, and that its effective use is essential to individual and world understanding, we try to continue to improve our skills of cdmmunication. Reading, writing, speaking, and listening receive careful consideration in everything we attempt to do. Careful studies, by counselors and English teachers, of our test results, our achievement, and our reading skills place us in classes best suited to our needs. Some of our classes place special emphasis on basic reading skills needed by individual students in these classes. Extensive reading, within classes and outside, is directed toward better understanding of ourselves, others, and of our way of life. We read for greater appreciation, an improved sense of values, more ex- tensive vocabularies, better reading skills, and increased enjoyment. Our library offers us a c 06 55 to extensive reading materials. We visit the library with our English class every two weeks; here we have the help of our librarian, Miss Grady, and our En glish teacher to help us with our needs and problems. We learn how to use a library and spend time there doing reference work and becoming more proficient library users. Available to us are thirty-five dif- ferent magazines, two newspapers, and approximately seven thousand books, along with many general and specialized reference materials. During 1961-1962, we have check- ed out from eleven to twelve hundred books per week. We have also read a great many books from Galesburg Public Library and from our home libraries. precise through better presentation of ideas, vocabulary. Writing starts with ideas, many of which we get from reading, listening to others. and thinking about things alone or with our classmates. We learn that writing is hard work, and we gain satisfaction from improving our expression to make it more meaningful, mechanically sound. discriminating, and improved units of expression, organization, and improved We have a new opaque projector with w hi ch we can look at the writing of our classmates and our- selves; then we make suggestions to help the author improve his writing. We are able to view samples of good writing and establish stan dar ds for a written paper. We are able to discover errors and problems readily and to decide on a solution for improvement. A number of our students felt the satisfaction of having their essays and poem 3 recognized and ac- cepted for publication during 1961- 1962, as in previous years. 1 Pictured at left.

Wherever we may be or work, we know that our modern way of life demands efficient and critical listeners. We recognize that concentrated listening is difficult, and that we experience many distractions. We listen to each other, to our teachers, to recordings, to films, and to com- munication media, and our at- tention is drawn to things which make for or hamper effective listening. Speaking, alone, or with a group, is a real problem for most of us. Our time is so limited that our opportunities are f e w, but we do as mu ch speaking as possible. We try to 1e arm to speak clearly, gain confidence in ourselves, and to express what we want to say or need to present in a manner which suits the purpose intended. When- ever possible, we make suggestions to each other Which help us to im- prove our sp e ak in g. Carefully planned a c t i v i t i e 3, though ex - ttemely limited by our time, try to assure each of us specific, prac- tical opportunities for speaking ex- perience. Oral reports must be pre- pared in advance. Our class activities are varied and include individual, group and co-operative class efforts, which encourage creativity and help us to communicate our ideas to each other. ,4 Recognizing that e ffi c ient reading, writing, speaking, and listening contribute to our success in school and life, we try to prepare ourselves for the pre se nt and the future. At Churchill, we have the opportunity to m a ke much progress toward proficiency in the use of this language of ours. It is up to us to make use of the tips ! ; 52 - Industrial Arts Many fields are covered in the industrial arts courses at Churchill. The first two years are devoted to woodwork, drawings, metals, and crafts. In ninth grade the boys work more extensively with power equip- m ent in completing operations other- wise done with hand tools. Besides the appreciation of good workman- ship, students are taught the impor- tance of safe work habits. S panish Spanish is a ninth grade elective subject. Besides learning this m o d e rn language, students also learn much about the customs and culture of Spanish speaking countries. In a year's study of the la n gu a g e m any students speak Spanish fluently. Gym Physical education is an important part of the curriculum. Our teachers strive to develop our bodies, our coordination, and sportsmanship. On Fridays, the boys and girls have gym together. We dance, play volleyball, basketball, and many other games. 53 Click, click, click go the typewriters' keys. From aslow pace in the fall, the keys gradually speed up as the typi sts learn the various reaches and techniques of typing. Business Education The major purpose of the first semester of business education is to widen the students' knowledge of the business world. This is done by investigating insurance, credit, and other phases of the business world. A second semester is devoted to typewriting. 54 Typewritin g Home Economics In home economics future homemakers b e g in preparation for the years to come. Here students are learning the techniques of sewing. The study of civics is an important undertaking at Churchill. This course, taken by ninth grade students, provides them with a basic understanding of our government and citizenship. Science In science class physical and chemical aspects of everyday life are studied. Also, students conduct experiments. listen to lectures, and see films pertaining to biology, chemistry, physics, and other scientific fields. By being equipped with a knowledge of the Latin tongue, stu- dents are able to reach the goal of mastering the English language. Study trips through ancient Rome gave pleasure in learning the Latin language. Geography 19.4w! an 3 wnw mm. Let's go to Mexico via geography class. WelI-informed and enthusiastic traveling companions could be found among this group of seventh graders. History ' Learning about great United States' documents, the famous men in history, and important events in the past are three of the ways our history classes help us to reach our goalofa better understanding of our government. Learning about the past helps us to live the present. Mathematics Mathematics is the foundation of our modern world. Because of its importance, mathematics is a basic subject that everyone at Churchill takes. Through the study of mathematics, we will make the world of tomorrow at better place in which to live. Art Education In seventh grade art education teaches one to carve from various materials. Drawings are also made by means of chalk, water colors, and oils. Eighth grade students study architecture and work on various projects. The one pictured above is an interesting example. Library Cadets BACK ROW: L. Betsworth, L. Wilkins, B. Findahl, N. Harrison, E.
