Music Spanish. Latin. . There is o new trend in foreign languages at L.C.H.S. Previously all languages and teaching techniques have involved primarily written work, but recently a new phase of learning has been instituted in the area of foreign languages. Much emphasis hos been placed upon the student's ability to communicate with each other in their foreign tongue. This new system follows much the same system as a young child's pattern for learning to speak and understand their language,- later drills in reading and writing are used. The plans for the new addition will add two new classrooms which will include thirty positions of electric headsets. These headsets will allow students to hear their own voices amplified as they repeat after the recording. There will be six additional positions in adjoining study rooms that will have full recorders to record the student's response. These recorders can be used for practice by students, or they may be used by teachers for testing students' pronunciation and ability to respond to questions. Mr. Jock Clinton Spaniih Mu.

Other elective courses available are geography, international relations, world history, and sociology. Social science will move to the new wing in the fall of 1967.

Mr. Kent Ncgley Mr. Joteph McCroith Mr. John Knexovich Mr. Lyle Johnior. Mr. Adolph Wolocovogo Mr. Joe Wllkorton Industrial Arts Industrial Arts seems to be the area where students can really learn by doing. Shaping raw material into a useful and frequently beautiful object with exactness and skill—to be able to work with reality rather than words— perhaps this is part of the reason why many students find the most useful parts of their edu- cation in the shops of Limestone. The masculine atmosphere of boys tooling leather, cedar, or cold rolled steel amid noisy, busy machines may be part of the attraction.- but don't forget that girls can penetrate this man's world and a few do—taking the hand- crafts course, for instance. Exactness and accuracy are among the goals of the IA classes. This is especially true in Drawing I and II, and the advanced electricity classes. The IA department v ill continue to excel as facilities ore expanded. A graphic arts room, where students v ill learn much about photo- engraving and printing, a small motors course, and an art room are all tentatively being planned. Department chairman, Joseph McCraith was named Illinois' Industrial Arts teacher of the year for 1966 for his outstanding work. Rondy Feagin, a tenior, conccntratot on hit coffee fable wood project.
