Z J UN IOR HIGH SCHOOL OBJECTIVES At the Junior-High level it is im- portant that we take advantage of the students previous learning experien- ces by stressing the three basic educa- tional skills - reading, writing, and arithmetic. We attempt to bring the child to the highest level of which he is capable in the use of these tools. A student who possesses these abili- ties faces all areas of life with fewer handicaps. He is more likely to devel- op an inquiring attitude, relate course content to life situations, feel his worth as an individual, be better ad- justed, and be capable of enjoying a richer, more meaningful life. CHEMISTRV We 1n Chemistry have been delving in o uci mysteries as elements atoms protons neutrons and the manufacturing of a few foul smells Some of us have been surprised to learn that Chemistry answers many question concerning our everyd y lite For example why some things taste sour others bitter and so on The ioad has no alway been easy Such an exacting science can never be called a snap course However I thmk mo t of us are beglnnlng to reall e that Chemistry is got aifvague unattached obstract study but som thing very real and vital to all of us 11 our every ay ie FORD McCOY S TRACTOR SALES FLOWER SHOP Co Ford van Wert ohio Van Wert Ohio lb . . . .

PRIVATE MUSIC LESSSON S When one walks through the halls you might mistak- lngly think that you are in a conservatory of music. Any- time during the day, one may hear the melodious sounds of students laboring with difficult musical exer- cises. The music students are fortunate in receiving priv- ate lessons by the music tea- zher. Many hours are spent with individualized instruc- tion for each student. Much of the practice is spent in helping the musician to master the more difficult parts of the songs which are practiced by the varsity band during their regular practices. It is because of this individual instruction that the High School Band is able to perform at its best. The cooperation of the students and parents is important for the administering of this specialized program Mr Lecklider this year had added something new to the school A sixteen piece orchestra has been formed and is well on the way to becoming a polished organization Also this year the music department is taking different groups to Lima and the band to Ada to participate and to receive special ratings ac ording to their performance Mr Lecklider has brought into the band and chorus repretoire more modern musical scores SHOP MR DEAN Furniture making leathercraft plastics and metal working are the main topics in Industrial A for the 1956 57 school year Many of the tudents have already produced very fine projects ln furniture making Cedar chests coffee tables book cases gun racks closet cabinets and wall cupboards head the list Leather is new to H J but it too is gaining ground Our work ranges from key cases and belts to billfolds Many of the boys have produced personalized name belts Plastics and metal working are the incomplete units in our shop Lack of proper equipment and Lpplie make it so GLENWOOD ADAMS HERFF JONES C0 Auctioneer Manufacturers of Jewelry 81 Stationary V n Wert Ohio I 1417 1417 N Capitol Ave Indianapolis Ind I 17 l ! ! ., .
