Algebra students Grant Heroe, Jeff Bamgrover, Loma Owens, and Sharon Tanner stop after class to ask Mr. Brown a question. Get it in there straight, boys! As classes continue, we see Mr. Brown with his Algebra class. Some have learned how to solve equations, while others have learned how to balance the ever challenging bank statement. When well planned, the activities in Mrs. Wilkinson's English class re- sult in learning the fundamentals of the language arts as well as behav- iorial patterns that serve well out- side the classroom. Spanish classes have used oral Spanish every day. Grammar ex- ercises and stories make up the greatest part of the homework as - signments. Spanish songs are also an important part of the study. Mrs. Mann keeps her shorthand class busy everyday with dictation and transcribing. These girls intend to use their shorthand after grad- uation in work or as an aid in college. Mrs. Wilkinson spends much time instructing the students indi- vidually when they are having trouble understanding English. 6

A Strong Mind What did you learn in school today? This is a frequent question. But we cannot measure what we learn day by day. We pick up bits of knowledge and accumulate them. We add to these bits every day. Music and art are an important part of everyone's life. The band partic- ipates in many outside activities during the year. These include parades and ballgames, music festivals and contests. The chorus does not have as many outside activities but does take part in the County Music Festival and Baccalaureate Services. In art a student learns to be creative. They work with crafts, water colors, weaving, papier mache, clay, and sketching trying to improve their skills. As a climax to the years activities in Home Economics, the student put on a style show. At this time, the garments made in class and the proj- ects from home are displayed to the public. The field of science has many different branches. Mr. Reeves makes each part as interesting as possible day to day. This ranges from the squeamish girls in biology, who think the specimens are alive and about to devour them, to the brave boys who show few, if any, qualms about dissecting. The seventh grade, with the help of Mrs. Chilcott, use their imagination in art class.
