Chemistry proved to be not all fun and games. Failure with experiments was common and the worksheets and problems just kept on coming. Physics, a prerequisite for taking second year Chemistry and Biology was occupied by upperclassmen. Students studied gravity, potential energy, kinetic energy and electricity. Physics labs were conducted informally. Many of the more difficult labs were performed with the aid of stop-action films.

Repitame, por favor Memorials Foreign Language Department offered such courses as Spanish, Latin, German, Russian and French. Each student was required to complete at least two levels of any language to graduate, with some taking upto five years. Few of lvtemorial's foreign language teachers spoke English to their students. This gave them a challenge to work with. . . trying to figure out what she was saying. Repeating after taped and book dialogues seemed to be the least favorite exercise of the Red Wing occupants. On the other hand, original written skits and other performances were the obvious favorite of all activities, as a variety of creatures ran from the rooms into the bathrooms madly changing costumes for the next scene. Armed with questions on how to pronounce this and that, students in foreign language found that a little effort combined with useful know how could stretch their concentration and urge them to learn. Many foreign languagers became mini- vender machines, as the National Honor Societies sold candy to raise money throughout the year. Proving to be a challenge for those who could confront and overcome the confusion, many graduated planning on entering into a foreign language field. new -nch teacher Reta Elrocl studies her daily lesson-plan.
