One of the most important facets of academics and our goal of a liberal education is the ability to express one's self effectively. The pen, the tongue, and understanding are three methods of attaining communication. It is English, Journalism, and Speech which are given to develop these abilities. Students at H.H.S. are required to register for three years of English with one semester of English Literature and one of Senior Grammar offered as an elective. It is English that sets the proper standards for use of the English lan- guage. In English, the students are given grammar and lit- erature each year. Also they are required to read certain famous works throughout the years. Reports and illustrated booklets are given on these works. In the last two years, students in Junior English have had a taste of the cultural works of music and literature. They are given a short but concise course in appreciation. This is very important to the development of the student's character and personality along with giving him a sample of the better things of life. Learning proper broadcasting methods. Kaye Scott, and Eloise Forsstrom prepare the Speech Radio Program. Left: Giving speeches takes research and Ken Flckel gives a speech after much time spent in the library. Right: Deciphering this Lat- in calendar, Donna Delsing finds out what day the For- mal is on. r r

and Staff Policy Mr. Lyle Speer is the local Jack and Jill store manager. He is also the Chairman of the Retail Committee of the Chamber of Com- merce and a bowler and golfer. Mr. Garland Fisher is a farmer operating west of Hemingford. His products range from beets, to potatoes, to cattle. He is also a prominent community worker, active in its projects. He, like the others, enjoys bowling. Staff custodians, Bill Herbaugh and Irene Dyer, serve the school's needs quite well. Their long day starts early in the morning cleaning and preparing the school for the day’s activi- ties. Handling the office and putting up with many hectic pleas for materials and assistance is Mrs. Edna Reindl. Irene Dyer and Bill Herbaugh, school custodians, take a breather from their activities to pose for a staff photographer. Shown below is Mrs. Edna Reindl who doubles as school board treasurer and office secretary. Also shown is John Wiltsey, Hemingford's hard working district secretary.

Interpreting Treasure Island can be confusing, as Mrs. Johnson points out to Marqie Wax. Journalism, and Latin Literature is very significant in the development of an appreciation of those artists who are the great masters of communication. In Literature, the student is exposed to many great works which are still appreciated now as they were in the century in which they were written. Grammar is the traditional method of using the English language properly when communicating. The student learns the rules and regulations of proper speaking and although this becomes somewhat repetitious to the student it is most essential. Also in the last two years, English students are being gradually introduced to the concepts of modern grammar which is being stressed in college. Although it has an entirely different approach to grammar, it still deals with construction and proper usage. Latin is placed in this section because, while it is not a development of communative abilities as such, it is a lan- guage and is very helpful in precise declension and classi- fication of words and constructions in the English lan- guage. Foreign languages are very important in giving the student a broad affluence of knowledge and is becoming a requirement for college application. Laying out sections takes time and effort as Diane Rowley finds out in prepar- ing her advertising section fot publication with Mr. Fod- nes. Left: Gathering ideas and as- signing stories occupies much of the time of Editor Greg Rosenberger and Assistant Editor Bonnie Gowin. The Fe- line is a Junior publication. Right: Running off the Feline is often a very inky mess as Bob Ray, John Laursen, and Jim Wacker find out. 1
