Seventh 6raders Adjust to Their New Schedule Adjusting to their new surroundings and classes the seventh grade paved their way into the Pirate Clan. Sharing many of the upperclassmen privileges, the students learned to schedule and utilize their time. They enjoyed many junior high parties, and high school events such as pep rallies and sock hops sponsored by the FHA and cheerleaders. Many of the members of the class were active in Library Club and junior high athletics. 7th Grade: First row: (left to right) Dawn Hoffman, Charles Valentine, MartinGeffre, Johnny Fischer, Rick Haux, Wendell Kallas, Janell Ketterling, Kathy Schumacher, Virginia Rohr- bach, Melody Weisser, Rhonda Laton, Donna Potratz, Angie Hoffman.

Academic Curriculum Expanded During the past year, declam and eighth grade home economics were added to the curriculum. Declam offered to the students a way to broaden their scope on the many meanings and feelings that words convey. Eighth grade home economics, as well as the other home economics courses, opens the field of homemaking to the girls at LHS. To give us a better understanding of the world of yesterday and today, world history, American history, government, and modern problems were offered. In preparation for the world of business, the the students were offered bookkeeping, busi- ness math, and secretarial courses, includ- ing shorthand, typing, and office practice. Several courses in the fields of mathematics and science were offered also. The curriculum in the Industrial Arts De- partment was based mainly on familiarizing the students with the world of industry. Pre- senting to the student a small spectrum of the job opportunity which is available to them in industry was the goal. Students were in- volved in drafting, woodworking, welding, as well as some individual research. A class in Arts and Crafts was also included. 26
