SPECIAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT The Special Education program in our high school serves not only those students in our school district, but those from Gull Lake, Climax-Scotts, and Comstock. The goals of the Special Education program are synonymous with those of the high school. The program includes the freshman through the senior years, culminating with graduation. Students served by the program participate in many of the extracurricular organizations and ath¬ letic activities. DAVID CLAYTON HANNA WILLIAM HENRY FIEST HELENE CAROLINE STAGER Oh, where is my string? Etceters, etcetera. I swear I don ' t know about you. MATHEMATICS The mathematics program is designed for students interested in a four year mathematics p rogram and those desiring to fulfill a gradua¬ tion requirement of two years. The four year program consists of algebra, advanced algebra, plane and solid geometry, and trigonometry. The mathematics and science departments work to reinforce each other. Students are given a general background in science and mathe¬ matics so they can fill the requirements for college entrance in these fields and related areas. JAMES MEAD McNEIL Come into my office.

LANGUAGES The purpose of our French program is to teach the five basic skills of reading, writing, speaking, listening and understand¬ ing the language. This is accomplished by doing much oral work at the beginning of the course. Later on, more time is spent learning gram¬ mar. French culture, concerning the people, the places, and the customs of the country is also taught by using the media of records and filmstrips in conjunction with readings in the textbook.

(Loves Labour ' s Lost: Mi) Book reports, themes, Shakespeare, Milton, Poe, verbs, upper¬ case, etc. These are some of the memories of English that the class of 1966 will carry with them.. As freshmen and sophomores they were required to study literature--remember Julius Caesar and David Cop- perfield? Or how about those grammar textbooks and tests? Becoming juniors and seniors enabled the ” ' 66 ' ers to select from a variety of subjects. They could choose from American or English Literature, Shakespeare, The Novel, English III, Journalism and for the prospective collegian, College English. These junior and senior level courses reinforced the knowledge and concepts gained in the first years of English. American and English Literature gave the class of 1966 chrono¬ logical surveys of all of the literature by writers from the United States and England. The Novel and Shakespeare were special interest courses--do you recall what, Romeo, Romeo! wherefore are thou Ro¬ meo really means? Deadlines. DOMINIC D. COURT Are there any questions or comments ? VIRGINIA ANNE SISSON Okay .... Briefly now 8

ART DEPARTMENT G-A has two types of Art Classes--Fine Arts and Arts and Crafts. In Fine Arts we do drawing and sketching in as many mediums as possible. We try to develop an appreciation for all of the arts in general, through study of pictures and displays of completed art work and various materials. In Arts and Crafts we plan and carry out prob¬ lems. Design is studied at the beginning of the course to help the student plan creatively and deco¬ rate his project. MARY COLETTE DORAN What is it? . . . Richard!” GEORGE W. DUNN Don’t ask me. How am I supposed to know. ” MUSIC DEPARTMENT Our Music Department has offerings in both vocal and instrumen¬ tal areas. A Concert Band, Marching Band, and Chorus are offered to all interested and qualified students. In addition to these classes there is a Pep Band, selected by the director, and a Dance Band. These or¬ ganizations perform for numerous functions throughout the school year. HOME ECONOMICS The family is the most important influencing factor . . . there¬ fore, units studied center around developing this philosophy. Units covered are: Clothing Construction; Foods; Nutrition; Grooming; and Money Management. Highlights everyone will remember--a luncheon for the faculty; foreign foods; Frosty ' s Fashion Show; and Planning a Wedding. ” IRENE ELIZABETH KING Well, class.” SOCIAL SCIENCE In the field of social science our school offers: Civics, Geography, World History, American History, United States Govern¬ ment, and Inter-national Relations. Civics is a combination of citizenship and a preview of American Government. World History includes both ancient and modern history, teaching us to understand and appreciate the cultures of other nations. 66 seniors, do you remember that you 3hould do right for right’s sake” and not do right simply because you fear the external consequences? If you do, you understand the purpose of the American Government class. American History-- To make you aware; Democracy is everyone ' s job, not our forefathers, the rich, the few, or a dic¬ tator’s--but YOURS.
