The class was pre-em- ployment vocational education, the new teacher, Mr. McNulty. The cur- riculum was devised to meet the de- mands of the different jobs that stu- dents would encounter, pupils in the new course learned skills useful on the job.

Occupational mathematics was also offered, it centered upon budget- ing, banking and finance, intelligent buying, and other money matters. A new nurse, Mrs. Iudybeth Smith, became familiar with the particular needs of students and staff alike. Her smile added a note of cheer in the usually gloomy sickroom.

L k Ulllliixg bf Ei29't Mini-cours es enliven English Ungraded mini-courses, held the last three weeks of school, were initi- ated to strengthen pupils' knowledge of different styles of literature. Each student was allowed a choice. Sophomores learned and reviewed grammar. Written book reports, as well as themes or term papers, were a requirement. Vocabulary tests kept recurring in all junior literature classes. Students read a variety of plays, ranging from Ron Cowan's Summertree to Robert Anderson's I Never Sang for My Pa- ther. Filmstrips, accompanied by rec- ords, were enjoyed by pupils, who I asked for a repeat of the one on f Thoreau. I Juniors in Mr. Wilbanks' classes . constructed a collage portraying a short story they had read. They also became salesmen, giving sales pitch- es to fellow students.
