 LANGUAGE ARTS ENGLISH is to develop a stu- dent's ability to express his own ideas and his ability to read comprehensibly. Prac- tice in writing, study of the fundamental grammar rules, and reading of outstanding literature seek to accomplish this goal. In SPEECH various assign- ments are given which are designed to help each student gain additional poise and self confidence so he may better fulfill this all important area of communication and expres- sion.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mrs. Jackson says Physical Education makes unique contributions to the total edu- cation of all students. There is fun, chal- lenge, and adventure in physical movement for both youth and adults. MR. LeROY DREIER Typing, football KSTC - 1961 MRS. PAT JACKSON Girls Phy. Ed. K-State - 1942 KSTC - 1966 There is no classroom long term unit of health taught in this program. We do have films, reports and discus- sions about applied health information. We are vitally concerned with applying health habits of cleanliness, weight awareness, and physical appearance. The import- ance of understanding the effects of alcohol, smoking, and others are stressed. Safety factors are a part of each unit. ROBERT O'ROURKE Biology Bethany - 1953 Stephen Austin - 1962 MR. REX WILSON Math, Track Fort Hays - 1960 MR. RICHARD UNRUH Physics, Chemistry Tabor - 1965 SCIENCES Mr. Unruh tells us the physical sci- ences deal with non-living things. It is my main objective to allow students to discover for themselves a refined method of gather- ing facts about these things through labora- tory experiments. In this way the student learns how a scientist works and the methods he uses. It is my desire to stimulate curiosity, questions, and to allow a search for an- ... . swers by discovery and not simply by a memorization of facts. Only by encouraging’ critical and creative thinking can a student actually sense the way of a scientist and become an active participant in today's scientific age. In MATHEMATICS al- though the answers to specific problems are sought, attention is focused on the examina- tion and study of processes and functional relation- ships. 9
