Grammar always had priority over the lesson plans of Spanish teacher, Mr. James Johnston and French teacher, Mrs. Margaret Kelley. The novice linguists memorized poems, wrote plays, translated stories and increased their vocabularies. The knowledge gained of a foreign language was expanded with filmstrips and brief history lessons of the country studied. Foreign language club listened to AFS student Si Gunama tell of her life in Thailand and French and Spanish students held a party in the building for their major activity. To broaden Distributive Education Club's yearly activity plan, the members created a Homecoming scene for downtown exhibition, in keeping with one of the main aspirations of D.E. Annual events retained, were the installation of officers, the initiation of new members, and attendance at the state conference in Portland. Field trips were funded through selling tickets and Dragon cushions at games as well as sponsoring a “Battle of the Bands’’ in January. Overall, the activity offered a rich and varied program. Mr. Curt Lamb smiles as he awards a plaque to Dave Brinker, president of the D.E. club for the downtown window display the club designed prior to Homecoming.

Field trips to Portland and Portland State University to visit art galleries brought about a realization of art concepts for the participants.

The section on human development included filmstrips and a movie on venereal disease. The bones and muscles were memorized and students learned the passage of the blood through the heart and body forwards and backwards. Students took over the class under the supervision of Mr. Ron August, during the medical self-help unit and showed filmstrips, movies and gave lectures and exams. Mr. Frank Kettleson shows sophomores Larry Lessenden and Ken Qulring the way the brake reaction test sets up and works. DRIVERS EDUCATION New Trailer; New Locale A new trailer gave Mr. Frank Kettleson an opportunity to expand to a full-time classroom. During the nine weeks academic studies were made more valuable with movies, and the visit of Mr. Stan Malo, a local insurance salesman and Corporal Haystead, a state police officer who demonstrated the drunk-o-meter. Teaching traffic safety and laws and giving students some practical experience with formal instruction were the objectives of Driver Education. 25
