CLASSES FRENCH French is the only foreign lan- guage offered at Lyons but there are large enrollments in French I and II classes. Grammar rules and vocabularies are studied by the first year students. Second year students become more ad- vanced in their studies (etudies). French students Stacey Wood, Mike Derby, and Carol Puehler hold the French national symool, the Fleur de Leu. ENGLISH SRA Reading, as part of all English classes, helps the students learn to read accurately and readily. After completing each reading, the student checks his answers to the questions to see what his score is. With a score of above 90 per cent, a student can move up a step by chang- ing colors. The colors run from or- ange, the lowest, to purple, the high- est. Doris Habel, Larry Clymer, and Paul Kahle are get- ting ready to begin SRA Reading. WORLD HISTORY In history no event stands a- lone. An understanding of the background and growth of Amer- ica, as well as the world, pro- vides a foundation by which we can proceed to cobperate with other nations to insure world peace. To be able to think and act intelligently, Rodney Hochstettler, Vicky Riegel, Bev Boger, and Linda Gleckler must understand the rela- tionship of their country with other nations. 16

ACADEMIC This group of Beta members, who have achieved high scholas- tic records, set an example for high school students in the aca- demic field. Throughout the school year the testing program, additional to regular testing, included PSAT, ITED and National Merit Scho- larship Qualifying Test. Other tests taken were General Scho- larship for Seniors and Prelim- inary District State Scholarship Tests with one student advancing in each subject to Bowling Green. The objectives of this Beta Club are: to encourage effort, to promote character, to stimulate achievement among its members, and to encourage and assist stu- dents to continue their education after high school graduation. The above students are charter members. This section of the yearbook in- cludes classes representing every field of study. Sixteen credits are necessary for graduation at Lyons High School. Academic require- ments are three years of English, one year of American government, one year of math, one year of sci- ence, and four years of physical education. Twenty electives are available for students to choose from. As a result of scholastic achieve ments the students above are mem bers of the Lyons local chapter which is the 148th National Beta Club. This is a leadership-ser- vice organization for high school students of America. The local chapter was established under the advisorship of Mr. Stanley Shaffer April 15, 1964.

GEOMETRY CLASSES In geometry, the students learn to weigh ideas for correct- ness and how to combine them correctly to build a system of logical thought. In a sense logical thinking is the process sometimes referred to as putting two and two togeth- er. Through combining various bits of evidence a conclusion can be drawn. Harold Hoffman. Linda Kahle, and Ray Paw- licki have solved a problem correctly. BIOLOGY Biology is the study of life. The substance of life, called protoplasm, carries on amazing chemical activities, responds to conditions around it and forms all living things. This study leads into complex societies, where plants and ani- mals live in vital relationship with each other. Bob Rathbun. Gerald Neill, and Sue Burt are dissecting worms as one of their class activities. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The new physical education program has changed weakness into strength. This change is brought about by various stren- uous exercises and games which are played during a 45- minute gym class period. Shown are Bob Fenicle, Charlie Hamilton, and Keith Zoleman demonstrating the game dodge ball. This game is played in both the boys' and girls' gym classes. 17
