Reports, World history students study lessons beside D Hill, which they will remember as part of their own high school story. CENTER: Robert Johns reads report to Ag IV classmates Luis Montoya, Max Rapier, Marvin Sex- ton. BOTTOM: Sophomores, beginning students in typ- ing, find this skill useful for future years. Charts and maps are used in many classes to make understanding easier and learning faster. Mr. Reeves Knowlton was es- pecially glad this year to be able to buy a number of these to help him in the teaching of history. How can people learn to do geometry with the practice afforded by blackboard work? That goes for other kinds of math, also. After a summer at a Na- tional Science Foundation Institute Mr. Dean Hon- singer was more convinced than ever of the value of charts for his science classes. Typewriters are nothing new at DHS, but they are just as important as ever, and the drill insisted on by Mr. H.T. Clothier is just as strict and just as useful as it ever was. Those ma- chines could tell long sto- ries of the tests, the jour- nalism stories, and the typing budgets they have helped to produce! 28

Furniture-making, dress-fashioning add practical As boys study patterns and make various kinds of furniture out of wood, the girls prepare for their side of homemaking by pouring over pattern books and choosing styles. These girls also study cookbooks and experiment with good-tasting and nutritious foods and menus. Students in other classes toil over ledgers learning to be precise in bookkeeping; and journalism stu- dents interview friends and visitors and report their findings. Accuracy of another kind is re- quired of music students as they spend hours practicing; and of for- eign language students in perfecting their accents. TOP LEFT: As Bert Bejarano and Joe Quinones study plans, Tommy Adams sands boards for gun cabinet. To make a harmonious whole, small choral groups learn to perfect tone and pitch, as Mr. Santee (left) listens for flaws. Early in the second semester ensembles begin prac- tice for Spring Music Concert, as the brass sextet (below) demonstrates. 30
