'k Foreign Language students along with a few foreign exchange students enjoy a fun get-together with friends. Foreign Language Language Useful Listening, speaking, writing and reading were processes the foreign language classes experienced, as in prior years. The listening part included doing certain exercises with the headsets, along with listening to different artists in both Spanish and French. Speaking involved exercises from the textbook and sing-a-longs with the recordings. Each student was also graded on class participation, using the foreign language they were studying. Perhaps most important was writing, because this enforced repetition of the language. Some of these were chosen by the individual teacher. Reading selections ranged from text to fiction and magazine with corresponding exercises. The French instructor was Mr. Sal Passentino, and Mr. Ken Hankland offered Spanish. Guest musician, Dave Holton entertains Spanish students with foreign music and song. Mr. Ken Hankland instructs foreign language students in a game of skill.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Teamwork Stressed Expansion in the P.E. Department was seen with the addition of two tennis courts to the originals, bringing the total to four and providing twice as much room for students desiring the tennis unit. At a cost of $500.00, two handball goals were purchased and these enabled a new sport to be covered. For the first time, girls weren’t restricted to wearing P.E. uniforms; rather they were allowed to wear their own attire, as long as it was appropriate. Mrs. Pam Casteel, instructor, felt that the change was for the best, since it eliminated the complaint about everyone having to wear the same uniforms. Boys P.E. classes were involved with many of the same units and skills as were the girls. Popular ones included team handball, basketball and touch football. These went over especially well because of the favorable weather we had, much of the year. Of all activities, bowling was “the hands down” winner in popularity.
