Tour Of Spain Made By Spanish Group In the foreign language department moving on was more apparent in the Spanish classes than in German, which remained rather stable throughout the period. A trip to Spain in early spring by the Spanish club was certainly an excellent means of moving on to a better under- standing of the culture and customs of the Spanish people. The Spanish Honor Society again conducted the pinata Christmas program for the kindergarten in the elementary school. Several of the advanced students were given an opportunity to move on in their studies with individual instruction by the teacher. Also, the upper classes again took on teaching chores of instructing the elementary students in the rudiments of Spanish. Through these and other activities, the foreign language department was always willing to help their students to move on . Above: Hans Ruddeck reviews for a test in his German II class.

Basic Concepts Needed In Order To Move On” In math and science the moving on” process was no differ- ent than that of other classes. Modern math concepts were blended with older reliable ideas to aid the students in moving along. Mechanical aids, such as the calculator, which replaced the slide rule, assisted the student to move on” more easily. Also, the overhead projector was another visual aid employed by the instructor to help math students better understand com- plex problems. In the science department, the updating of texts and materials by the instructors was a means of helping the students move on” and of keeping them abreast of the time. Mastering the basics of physics, chemistry and biology assisted the students to move on” to the more complex as well as innovative scientific concepts. College bound students found these courses necessary since they planned to move on to higher education when they would have to rely upon their knowledge of fundamentals learned in high school.

This 12-week course permitted the sophomores to get a briefing in shorthand, accounting and typing. For the upperclassmen, office practice and business machines were offered, both of which helped the students to move on” in the practical knowledge of the business world. In teaching typing, shorthand and accounting and imple- menting these courses with modern electronic equipment, the business education department adequately prepared the students to move on to employment in the business field.
