Speeches highlighted the English II classes as Jerry Whetstone proves while demonstrating his shaving technique. COMMUNICATING IS OBJECT OF CLASSES » • The English classes this year were divided among four teachers: Mr. Craw, Mrs. Faas, Mrs. Hoke, and Mr. McClure. The various classes covered everything from Shakespeare and Julius Caesar to Lord Byron and Alexander Pope-from nouns and prepositions to personification and onomatopoeia. The sophomores spent a lot of time with speeches, while the seniors concentrated mainly on literature and journalism. The freshmen relearned the basics, and the juniors did a little bit of everything. Mr. Craw kept things moving in Spanish II. The students undertook the challenge of Spanish dancing. They prepared special Mexican foods and even risked eating their feast, con- sisting of tacos and tortillas. Mr. McClure taught one class of Latin II with two students who studied the language itself and its derivatives, the Roman literature of Virgil, Ovid, and others, the Romans, other ancient Europeans, and the conquests of Julius Caesar.

Time given in class was well used by Darrell Dunnuck and Bennie Hivcly as they completed their assignments. STUDENTS STUDY WORLD EVENTS A required course for everyone is U.S. History. To keep the class rele- vant, Mr. Igney employed many meth- ods of teaching the students. One way was to allow the class to talk about any events they had heard of. He also chose students to insturct a portion of the class on selected topics. He even showed his classes a wide variety of films. In addition, Mr. Igney gave a daily outline on the topic under dis- cussion. In World History, also taught by Mr. Igney, the students studied the history of the entire world-from early ages up to the present. Classes were conducted in much the same manner as the U.S. History classes. Randy Williams worked on while others glanced up during the final history exam. 19
