Activities promote reading, Writing The Reading Lab, headed by Mr. Francis Weskel, added two major innovations this year. One was the increased use of new read- ing machines that enabled the students to increase their reading speed and comprehen- sion. The other was the formation of an ex- perimental class in which the students Were allowed to have more choice in their course of study. The major decisions involving Proem, Grosse Pointe South's literary publication, sponsored by Miss Nancy Smith, were made entirely by the students on the staff. Their goal was to choose the best of representative student literature and student art for publica- tion in the spring magazine. Above: Beckie Littler and Sarah Moran discuss one of the composi tions submitted for Proem. Below: Carrie Loomis, Kathy Dietrich Nick Balderi, and Chip Lawler rate student literature. 16
