Business And Physical Education Since Madison opened eight years ago, there has been a complete turnover of both boys' and girls' P.E. teachers, as well as a change in the outlook toward physical fitness in our country. John F. Kennedy initiated this change by em- phasizing the importance of physical fitness. The Madison department has provided a happy me- dium between calisthenics, which is the more formal method of exercise, and group play by creating both the atmosphere for personal de- velopment and the opportunity for group sports. Health is required during one semester of the sophomore year for both girls and boys. This course offers instructions in drivers' training, personal grooming, and the effects of using alco- hol, drugs and tobaccog it also provides an intro- duction to anatomy and physiology.

Chairman German French German Spanish Spanish Adel-Ki Advisor Counseling Russian Gffer Laboratory Work The foreign language department had 870 students enrolled this year in five different for- eign languages: French, German, Spanish, Latin, and Russian. French and Spanish were tied in popularity. A new teaching system, the Holt Method, was started this year in French, German, and Spanish classes. It consists of flashcards, take- home tapes, and records. A thirty-six-position language lab with over-head earphones was in- stalled. This way the student took dictation at his or her own rate, whereas, before, the teacher would dictate at one speed and some students were soon lost. As well as learning how to read and speak the language, students learned about the culture of the people of the various countries. They also learned songs to help with pronunciation. Since there were not enough students to have a fifth year Spanish class, some of the fifth year students helped teach other classes.

Develop Skill In 1965-66 Madison students were offered four new business courses: business communica- tions, personal bookkeeping, clerical office prac- tice, and briefhand. Students in business communications spe- cialized in business letters and communication, while those in clerical office practice were given training in filing, operation of adding machines, and duplicating. Briefhand was planned as an aid for college- bound students, training them to take notes quickly. Three courses offer the Madison student credit for on-the-job training combined with classwork. These are business distributive edu- cation, business diversified opportunities, and business clerical practices. In class, students in B.D.E. and B.D.O. studied principles of retail- ing and general business respectively before reporting for work. Girls in the third distributive class spent their mornings learning about office machines and practice, and in the afternoon worked two to three hours daily in a business office. Students in these three classes received one credit for work experience and one credit for the classroom activity. Miss Mary Andersen Mrs. Gertrude Bean Dept.
