Revised curriculum provides insight into college courses Jeri Crowder and Marcia Huiskes portray one very important facet of chemistry, experimentation. Discussion plays an important part in a World History class as illustrated by Junior girls. Pam Hoiland, a German II student, demon- strates her speaking ability in the foreign language lab. Answering to the demands of the stu- dents, the administration has revised its curriculum to include a series of semes- ter courses. Beginning next year, the course which has generally been known as history, will broaden it's scope to in- clude such possibilities as political science, contemporary problems, biogra- phies, and minority studies. Other se- mester hopefuls include English, some vo- cational courses, and business courses. Still in the planning stages, semester courses offer a solution to the age-old prob- lem of students enrolling in a required course of little interest. The present staff of truly dedicated in- structors and the reality of semester courses will find our school has virtually answered the needs of all college-bound students. With four years of math, two or three years of foreign languages, several science-oriented classes as well as English and history, colleges will find our students have been well-prepared. 24

Vocational courses: A cycle of training and retraining for life's tasks Keeping with the current trend of the popularity of vocational schools, LHS has broadened its vocational curriculum. Next year, it is hoped that the scope of vocational courses may be on a semester basis. LHS has also kept up to date with currenttrends including Women's Lib, as indicated by the enrollment in such classes as Graphic and Industrial Arts. Within these classes, females constitute one- fourth of the enrollment. The objective of vocational courses is to prepare students for fareers in spe- cialized fields. With classes like farm mechanics, home-economics and typing, students are given a genuine insight into what they may expect in later life. Larry Goembel and Phil Maras examine the results of their silk-screening project in Graphic Arts. Students obtain the skills of typing through the means of trial and error.
