THE SPACE AGE—a new age. For us A NEW CAMPUS —A NEW CURRICULUM, a new look to our classes. THE NEW CAMPUS—consisting of four units connected with covered walks; separate units so designed to do two things; first, bring about closeness among the students—doing away with the evils of bigness ; second, increase the effectiveness of classroom work by separating classrooms from other and more noisy activities. Ivy Hall and Oak Hall are the two duplicate buildings consisting of 13 classrooms each and a general education laboratory. The Library, a separate building—and the Administration Unit with Cafeteria, Music, Physical Education, Art, Homemaking, and Shop. THE NEW CURRICULUM —a three track plan providing for College Preparatory, Business Education, and General Education. The college preparatory curriculum is completely separate and emphasizes math, science, theme writing, and creative activities preparing for college. Business Education prepares for employment immediately after graduation. General Education provides the greatest flexibility in choosing electives and providing for a great many different needs. THE NEW CURRICULUM—whose aim is HELPING ALL STUDENTS—a real democracy of opportunity. CLASSES 1959
