Comparable to rehearsing musicians, students must meet each new rhythm and tempo, master it and hurry on, constantly striving for perfection. Students are here shown in their class rooms laboring over problems posed for them by their instructors, doing interesting experiments, mastering languages, or studying one of the arts— preparing for years to come that they may better meet the challenge of every day life.

We study communications . . . the foundation of all knowledge. Berndt and Jeanetta look on while Dick and Irna Jane play negro spirituals as part of their literature in the four-year English course available in SJHS. As part of their journalism duties, Eric and Lorraine distribute the Orange and Black. Students taking this course find themselves working on the newspaper, the annual, or handbook. Nervously standing on the platform which is familiar to all speech students, Eddie gives a talk on A World Government.” Appearing before groups of this kind gives students the invaluable asset of self-confidence. Donna is thankful for the help she is receiving from Miss Winifred Bull on the Latin translation, as Chuck tries to puzzle his out. Emphasis is placed on the derivation of English words from Latin. Visual education augments the daily classroom activities to give Spanish students a broader view of the cultural background of the people they are studying. Alan and Barbara lead a discussion in French culture which is as much a part of the study in French as learning to speak this romantic language. Page 19
