If we haven't been in her Latin class we've been in her office at least one morning to have her sign an absence blank. Mr. Bolmier’s office is next to Miss Mo’s; that’s where all of us had counseling when we needed advice on school problems or future plans. Some of us also had extra help from our new speech therapist. Mrs. Drolet. Also new this year were two English teachers. Miss Heinen and Mr. DeSantis. Students in senior English this year couldn’t possibly forget Macbeth, especially when they had to memorize lines and in w several instances, scenes, which were presented in full costume on stage to the rest of the class. It wasn’t too long before the juniors began quoting lines from the “Thanntopsis,” and the sophomores had their first taste of memorizing “Idylls of the King.” Besides memorizing, we also read books, gave speeches, and wrote research papers. Miss Huebner's sophomores wrote notebooks containing figures of speech, granynar, and pronunciation snags; and Mrs. Pick's seniors compiled a notebook of essays, themes, and original contributions, together with the material covered in class. 9

This year's courses were « V’ full of projects and term papers, and so was the library full the day before the projects were due. Besides affecting the library, the term papers also affected the typing classes, because many of the typing students typed term papers for seniors. This year a new system was originated when there were two history courses offered to juniors, a world history course for those going on to college and a world problems course for those who will be through with their education when they graduate. Venturing into the art room after school some night in December, you probably would have found Mr. Grimes busy making programs for the chorus’ Christmas concert.
