Changes Were Made Zhroughout the Mr. Lyons focuses the television which was a recent addition to the science department. This past summer much remodeling was done in our school. Rooms were painted, and the study hall was made into a combination study hall- library. Throughout this school year many students have learned to use the library facilities to their advantage. The home economics department perhaps un- derwent the greatest change of any department. Along with being repainted, new chairs and ta- bles were added. This department now has com- plete use of two rooms—one room is for sew- ing and the other is the kitchen itself. Science students were able to view both chem- istry and biology television programs this year, enabling them to gain extra knowledge in these fields. Business law and consumer economics have been added to our business education curricu- lum, making it now possible to receive 6 Vi cred- its; whereas in past years, it was only possible to receive 5Va credits. The changing of second year typing to office practice now gives students morf experience in office work. English literature, due to the fact that more students are enrolled in English classes, has been combined with English IV. Mary Jo Barga and Rita Hittle practice on the chinning bar, which was first intro- duced into phys. ed. classes this year. Sam Bashore and Randy Higgins work with the copper enameling kiln that was purchased for industrial arts department.

School Members of the physics class look at Larry McKenzie's partially completed project. English teachers are now seeing greater re- sults in the placing of students into the type of English class that will benefit them most in their future. Students enrolled in the college prepar- atory course receive more drill on the prerequi- sites for college English, and emphasis is also be- ing put on the English needs of vocational stu- dents. The vocational agriculture department increased its training in farm shop—stressing more metal and a few more finished furniture projects for the non-farm boys. Training for the related fields in agriculture is also being stressed in both the classroom as well as the shop. A physical fitness program has been taken over not only in our girls' and boys' physical educa- tion classes, but also in our extracurricular ac- tivities. Kathy Yoder and Mary Jo Barga use one of the new tables in the home economics department. Students make use of the new library facilities during their study halls.
