Mrs. Wrona is showing Bob Rudd how to diagram a sentence, but Bob seems to be turning it into a joke. It looks as though something in the hall is distracting to Mr. Kasarda.

STANDING: Mr. Jerrold Kasarda, Miss Catherine Yazombeck, Miss Donna Lusk, Mr. Robert Tolan, Mr. Raymond Gran and Mr. Richard Ebler. 14

With Mr. Armentrout as a teacher in U.S. History, how could anyone do anything but listen? Probing into the past, whether it be that of the world or of the United States, is the work of history students. World history is offered to those students interested in investigation from earliest man to our present world of missiles and rockets. Learning of America ' s past, from a field in Gettysburg to a beach in Normandy, is the aim of the US history course. Government and economics, the study of the policies and economy of our country, is a course required of seniors. With this background, students look to the future when current events will become the history of tomorrow. As Mr. Demaree holds the world in his hands, he points to Spain, a point of interest in world history. Mr. Eugene Talmadge, (chairman), conducts a discussion of world (left to right), Mr. Richard Ebler, Mrs. Carol Rouhselang, Mr. affairs with the rest of the Social Studies Department. They are, Randy Nabhan, Mr. Richard Demaree and Mr. David Faulkes. 13

Mr. Gran smiles as he reads a poem to his junior English class. Mrs. Lynch shows Linda Lamberth and Linda Blank her desk menagerie. Miss Lusk helps Jim Glad proofread his theme. Thought i s of the essence of ideas, and language is the essence of communication. The study of our language and literature strives to both improve and understand the baeics of our life. Grammar and writing are funda- mental parts of any language, and without an understanding of this, it would not be possible to gain a good understanding of others thoughts. Literature is an expression of the hopes and aspirations from one individual to another but in its scope it encompasses the whole galaxy of man. 15
