outmtted cCtuctyeny Looking over illustrations for books available in English class, Barb Cundiff plans a book report. Expanding and changing as new sets of faces move into the age-old freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior ranks, C. P. H. S. now transmits knowledge in 67 subjects to its students. In most of these classrooms the stress is off “busy work” and on the more free style of digging out gems of learn¬ ing by personally seeing events, such as the state legislature, or studying sociol¬ ogy by visiting various churches. Practicing this policy ever since it was established is the home economics de¬ partment. Believing in the do-it-your¬ self way, 318 cooks and seamstresses created new delights while awaiting new quarters in the $900,000 addition. Also taking their courses literally were the 84 students each semester who drove the driver training car with its Beware—Student Driver” sign. Biology and chemistry hounds got their hands deep into their work as they dissected small marine animals and ex¬ perimented with formulas and other evil-smelling concoctions. The shop area was also filled with shin¬ ing examples of digging deep into things. The 377 boys in shop classes came up with projects ranging from finding out what makes a car motor tick to how to create a lamp on a wood lathe. Many boys were taught how to get into the heat of things and make the sparks fly in welding class, new this year in both day and night classes. (Night school was resumed this year after a two-year absence.) The music department voiced its les¬ sons by presenting choral and band concerts throughout the year, while students in the journalism department wrote and re-wrote their assignments. More students took math, English, and science courses, the main stem of high school, than in any year before, chalk¬ ing up more evidence of C. P. H. S.’s upward surge.
