WE TFL nsr EST THE CLASSROOM Marge Mattewson, Allen Ringland and Barry Hasson become more acquainted with our geography by the use of textbooks and the wall map. This is Mr. Foster's eleventh grade citizen- ship education class. CLASSROOMS In the classroom the individual learns the value of knowledge and its use in the world. The important part of the course is not’ the specific subject being studied, but rather the many matters affected by the subject. The indi- vidual, therefore, must be given a broad background and must be convinced to seek the truth in all that he learns. A competent, devoted teacher—one who is a teacher every moment of every day—is needed to fill the needs of each person in the class. To convey his knowledge the teacher must guide the class by his interesting approach. In co-curricular activities the teacher does not dominate; he advises. The students who formulate the class have an opportunity for organized study. Here they find the prac- tical application for the work they learn in class. For those who have chosen their life’s work, this is their chance for research as well as an opportunity for securing a good back- ground in their particular field. These students take their knowledge into the classroom and the cycle begins again. 24 Upon looking at this picture, one wonders whether it be Julius Caesar, The Scarlet Letter, or My Antonia, that holds so much interest for these students of Mr. Blinderman’s third year English class.

On Friday evenings between eight o’clock and eleven P.M. the facili- ties of the school were turned over to the students. There was dancing to the juke box as well as ping-pong and knock hockey games going on. A snack bar was in operation and many of our teachers attended to chaperone and direct the affairs. Mr. Shapiro was our Director and he spent many hours preparing and insur- ing the success of the functions. Among the many different eve- nings held was a Pizza Pie Night” and of course, our annual Halloween Costume Dance. The Recreation Dance Band, under the direction of Mr. Lutri played for many of these outstanding nights. Mr. Lutri seems to be lost in the midst of the rollicking students at the Halloween Dance. The dance proved to be one of the most successful functions that this committee sponsored. Many of the students came in costumes. These costumes were both frightening, exciting and original. Students from all grade levels attended this wonderful party.
