Language Arts 1. Mrs. Chandler ' s Language Arts class was reading The Pigman when the cameraman stopped by and caught Kay Olry summarizing a number of chapters for the benefit of those who had been absent. Seated are R. 1 Kelly Turner, Shelby Blackburn, Dennis Lung, Jeff Crabill R. 2 Lisa Stephenson, Debra Pontius, Sharon Minich R. 3 Barbara Taylor, Hector Rodri- quez R. 4 Debbie Mitchell, Larry Setzer, Tom Madison. In Language Arts Class (8th grade) students learn or review many phases of English-structure of the sentence, spelling, punctuation, oral and written expression, and last but not least, read- ing for understanding and interpretation. 2. In 9th grade English class students learn to read, write, speak, and listen more effectively through various literature units. By sharpening these communication skills students should be better prepared to think, reason, and communicate in high school and daily life. Students learn to use their language to their best advantage. 3. Ray Powers, Pat Murphy, Lorraine Glover prepare media used to help students appreciate the story Man Without A Coun- try in Language Arts 8. 4. Larry Setzer, Mark Mugg, Kevin Walker, Melissa Mayes, and Mrs. Dick are intent in an evaluation phase of the reading program. Students in Reading Improvement wait their turns to get individualized reading lessons cor- rected. Reading Improvement is a one-semester course for 8th and 9th grade students who wish to improve their reading skills in the areas of vocabulary, comprehension, and speed. The class is completely individualized as students daily select their practice lessons and skill builders from a wide variety of materials. If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.

Equipped with his five senses, man explores the universe around him and calls the adventure Science. Edwin P. Hubble Science 1. These 8th grade students in Mr. Howard ' s class demonstrate how a solid like iodine crystals can change directly to a gas. This seems strange to most because in the past, solids they have seen warmed have melted to a liquid. Those pictured are: Pat Murphy, Tim Mattery, Carrie Schaeter, Mary Adams and Tony Williams. 2. Mr. Overmeyer ' s 9th grade Biology class is learning through the use ot miscroscopes. In Gen- eral Biology students develop skills tor scientific experimentation and observation. Teachers at- tempt to stimulate the innate curiosity within stu- dents about the beauties and complexities ot all life forms. 3. Mr. key ' s llS-ldeas Investigations in Science class is a new program in biology offered to Frank- lin ninth graders. Students learn each new idea by actually working with that idea in the laboratory. This class helps students understand the relevance of scientific problems in the world and their every- day lives. Tari )udd, Arley Poling, Chris Ellison, Tim Whilacre and Cerrie Bauer don ' t seem too sure about touching one of live specimens brought in for study. 4. Dave Clark, Clint Fisher, Denny Gordon, and Cheryl Wimes are demonstrating to the rest of Mr. Gorman ' s 7th grade science class just how a ther- mometer works.
