FOREIGN LANGUAGE Foreign Language Mrs. Rizzotti. 'tl'Que Tempo Hace ? Miss Joan Dacken, Miss Rose Gaznbula, Miss Florence McBa'r'ront, Mrs. Thefrsa Rizzotti, Mrs. Phyllis Russo Cuando entva en la clase de espanol, realmente entra en el mundo espanol. There is never a dull moment in Spanish. Anything can happen. One day I was reviewing some vocabulary words at the last minute, when the teacher arrived. Her every step sounded like a countdowng I would have rather been orbiting in space than facing this test. My eyes felt as though they were glued to the page, but with much resolution I closed the book and hoped for the best. I looked upg but I didn't see our Spanish teacher. Instead, a French teacher was standing there asking us, Quel temps fait-il? No one knew the answer. Someone informed her that she was in the wrong room. However, she just asked the question again. She thought that we were either fooling or that we had forgotten the right verb. I wonder how far it would have gone if our Spanish teacher didn't walk in just then, looking more than a little confused!! Donna Kennedy 9H1 xi fs 4 fl n . -XL! 4:12 If MR, 4 26 'chairman

Mr. Michael Bmfken, Mrs. Edith O'DonneZlf, READING Miss Anne Pawfilli, Mrs. Ruth Spital Through books our minds are opened to the beauties of the world. In the remedial reading classes at McKinley, we increase our reading comprehension and improve our vocabulary skill. Most important, we realize that there are books that deal with our own problems, our own activities and our own world. We visit the library frequently and, above all, we learn that reading really can be fun. Jody Hedlund 9H1 Q..-........ . . ,W I K f 9 Cen mv' 'A - A r 'I if---.., .l 'gif-,.:,f 'Y' jf NY '-::x.

Social Studies is current events and what's happening now. However, the first and only way to be involved, to be a part of today's scene is to know the facts. The aspect of Social Studies, which I like the best, is debating. We had exciting debates concerning the presiden- tial election. I think that all the known facts about Nixon and Humphrey were brought out. Their past voting records were the object of much close scrutiny. It was a shame that we couldn't vote, after all our discussions. At Election Day we certainly knew quite a bit about all the candidates. It was all worthwhile and it really was fun. I hope that we all will devote just as much time to similar research, when it is our turn to choose a leader.
