Classes Add To Curriculum A change in the time factor was quite a change for students at LHS. School started at 8:50 A.M. and wasn’t dismissed until 4:00 P.M. It was only a fifteen minute change, but some days it seemed likfc forever: The time change was due to the length of science classes. It was required that each science class be a fifty-five minute period. Seniors were no longer given the privilege of leaving at 2:30. It interfered with the class schedule, so the seniors were dismissed at the same time as the underclassmen. Three new teachers were added to the staff. Mr. Larry Goins took the history and government classes, coached the football team, and was assistant coach for the wrestling team. Psychology and sociology were taught by Mr. Paul Kindelspire. A new class, health, was also taught by Mr. Kindelspire. Mr. Kindelspire is a graduate from Leola High School. Mrs. Vicky Tipton was in charge of the home- economics department and watched over the activities of the Future Homemakers of America Club. Several new classes were added to the curriculum. Micro- biology was taught by Mr. Loren Gill. The class was offered to juniors and seniors and was scheduled for two different periods. Personal finance was cut to one semester and business law filled the second semester. Modern problems class was offered to the senior class with Mr. Clark Schemp as teacher. 4

ACADEMIC on is the reaso or high school. Maybe some of ujHunRd chemistry. Could it be thaEtyeJgarned somethin more importanfabout ourselves? Ot maybe we learned something from the people sitting next to us. they learned something from a high school educjlion completely out ofg -1 ook. Pvert if we read the whole set of Workl Book Encyclopedias, we cainot learn how to feel self-confidence, how to handle ourselves in public, or how to deal with defeat or with success. Yes, education is the reason for high school, but we must recognize and remember the style of learrung that can’t be graded - —Pamela Smalley J%
