LANA HENDRICKSON demonstrates an important p art of grammar — diagramming. IN DRAMATICS, JANET Taylor takes on an appropriate expression in answer to Mary Lu Wagner’s lines. English is very closely associated with all other subjects. For instance, though grammar is studied in Eng- lish, it is applied to every written as- signment-history, psychology, health — anything. To be able to write heads and copy in journalism, a good vo- cabulary and understanding of sen- tence structure are imperative. In order to effectively act out scenes from plays in dramatics class, one must have previous knowledge of the meaning of the lines — knowledge gained in the study of English. SENIORS LISTEN INTENTLY to a selection from their literature AS MRS. LYNN Lucas makes the characters seem real with her book . . . interpretation. English Forms Foundation for Expressing Knowledge Gained in All Other Subjects 7

A knowledge of the world, as it is and was, gives students a better pic- ture of how they must fit into the world of tomorrow. Psychology, sociology, and contem- porary affairs are offered as well as the required social studies classes in history ' , government, and ec onomics. Everyday happenings and world af- fairs are the main topics in the cur- rent events class. Psychology classes visited Beatty Memorial Hospital for a day and aid- ed the sociology classes in taking a town-wide occupational and educa- tional survey for the school adminis- tration. JACKIE VAUGHN POINTS out the advantages and disadvantages of stocks and bonds to seniors in economics.

“WHAT’S THE QUADRATIC formula?” Mr. Richard Ellis waits for a response from his Algebra II class as they go over the previous day’s assignment. Students Tackle Conventional Math or Work at Their Own Rates in Temac Programmed Courses PATTY HARDER CONSTRUCTS the illustration for a proof in geometry. Other members of the class follow along in their books. Math students have two choices when they select their courses — they can take conventional classes or Temac programmed learning. With Temac a student works individually at his own rate. He covers the material by an- swering questions or working out prob- lems in numbered frames and then checking his results immediately against the correct answers. Some students are able to complete college level courses such as Calculus II. For those who prefer and learn bet- ter under the give-and-take of class- room discussion, regular classes are of- fered. DON STACHURA, WITH his Temac book and supplement spread before him, works out an answer for a frame in plane geometry. The correct answer will appear when he pulls down the flap at the right of his book. 8
