Learns By Doing And Then Applying TRAINING CA MOTORS In Driver's Education the students learn all there is to know about operating a car. From shifting gears to fixing tires, the future drivers learn to become good menaces of the road. Mr. Dougherty is taken for many a thrill ride but seems to survive year after year. Of course, he cannot get anyone to renew his life insurance but that is life. The boys in the Manual Training Class make many beautiful pieces of furniture during the year. lt is often surprising what the boys can do with a drawing and a piece of lumber, but if anyone can do it, Mr. Schoenhoft and his crew can. The boys made bookcases, hat racks, end tables, and many other valuable objects which were appreciated by their families. English I is a class that everyone looks back on with fond memories of Miss Lusk and Shakespeare, writing themes, learning parts of speech and the other tortures that are put up with in the learning of our native lan- guage. A different way of learning the parts of speech was employed this year. A skeleton was used as a sen- tence and his limbs as the different parts of speech. Page Fifty Four

Classes Through The Four Years. e . . . i There are a bunch of squares around this school. They are the pride and ioy of a member of the faculty, Mr. Voris. They learn how to draw squares, rectangles, triangles, and other weird figures. They also learn how much weight to put on the end of a teeter-totter to balance oneself. Another thing they learn is how to be guided by a compass, not in navigation, but in drawing. ln biology the students learn the basic facts about the science of life. The classes now beneht from the newest piece of equipment, the Rayoscope. Vegetables that are really fruits, and the reproduction of plant life are delved into thoroughly. At first, the students are nervous at the prospect of cutting up little varmints, but later think that it is fun. A gay Mexican setting and tasty enchiladas, tortillas, saffron Spanish rice, and hot spiced chocolate were all the second year Spanish class needed for a Fiesta. Chistes and fun mingled with coniugations and themes and before we realized it, the time had arrived for read- ing novels. After that, Vaya Con Dios, Amigos!

The Knowledge Which He Has Gained. if f l E ji The education which is received in American Govern- ment class is something which the student can use tor- ever. All the laws of the land are thoroughly taught by Mr. Douglas in the hope that his students will remember these laws when they become the voting citizens of the land. This year the class made workbooks covering the election returns of the 84th Congress so that a complete history could be kept tor the classes in future years. All of the experiments in Chemistry don't turn out perfectly but few blow up which is something to be ,, Q, ' -.J YF ' Q .. 'r'i lQ ,, thankful tor. The students learn all about atoms, bal- ancing equations and all the dilterent chemical aspects of the earth. Students go into the class calling HOH water but come out calling water HOH. The boys in the physical education classes seem to enioy this class more than others from the wild sounds which come from the gym, The highlight of the classes this year was tumbling which some of the boys become very expert at. A team composed ot the best tumblers performed at basketball games. rm G3 Page Fifty Flve
