expressions of Enrollment numbered 375 individuals, each intent on reaching some goal, each with an opportunity to express himself, whether in the chemistry lab, on the basketball court, or behind the rostrum. Every student had an opportunity to make use of the 4300 volumes in the school library, to belong to many of the extracurricular organizations, or to benefit from the services of a full-time guidance counsellor, offered for the first time this year. 1959 saw establishment of the first journalism, French I, Spanish III, and German III courses. All classes were small, enabling teachers to devote time to the needs of the individual. Techniques made use of lectures, visual aids, magazines, records, maps, and opaque projectors. Tape recordings of native speakers were used in language courses, and practice on machines of future voca- tions was offered in business classes, home economics, and industrial arts. Students saw the why? by diagraming a sentence, decomposing ammonium carbonate, or dissecting a frog. The average senior managed to take part in three extracurricular activities; many students were active in six or more. These activities took place during a short period before 9 a.m. at the beginning of each day. but few students managed to escape through the solid blue doors at 3:22 in the afternoon, as work on such class and club projects often continued into the night. The school work day consisted of six class hours. In the middle of the schedule one half hour was set aside permitting some 340 student gourmets to savor 75 pounds of ground beef. 30 pounds of bread, 15 pounds of carrots, . . . on a typical day. TOM DAHL, YOU’RE ALL WET! Leonard Langley emphatically remarks during a discussion in the 6th hour Modern Problems class. These discussions never fail to produce mixed emotions from this class of seniors. The two sections are taught by Mrs. Anita Stall and Frank Farrell. 6
