Each person must tell one of his choice. Because of its importance in communication, English usage was highly stressed this year at MHS. It was of- fered at all three grade levels, but was required of sopho- mores and juniors only. With the consent of the tenth grade instructors, jun- iors chose from American Literature, Journalism, Com- munications, and Honors English. More emphasis was placed on the oral aspect of the language, as juniors prepared various reports and speeches during the semes- ter under the Oral English program. Those who elected to pursue English in the senior year took composition and English literature courses. A combined lit and comp course was again covered by Miss Garst and Mr. Adam. Team teaching was used to provide a better literature background through ad- ditional lectures. Seniors who wished to continue the oral program could also take the Speech course, which was conducted on a semester basis. Although grammar, spelling, and composition were emphasized during the year, more stress was given to weekly vocabulary study in all classes. Its purpose was to increase the student’s knowledge and to provide a correlation between both oral and written English. U

Mr. Milton Hagberg and Mr. Orville Harkey take a moment from their busy schedules to discuss the latest problems. With world attention on space technology ' and mod- em math, many MHS math teachers took summer school classes. This study presented new techniques and methods of instructing students in all areas of mathe- matics. This year the understanding of basic mathematical structures was explored in Algebra I and II, while the emphasis in plane geometry was on deductive reason- ing. Because of stress placed on advanced math, the basic curriculum underwent a compression of content so that college level studies could be offered. Trigonometry, Calculus, and College Algebra were some of the acceler- ated courses which dealt in examination of ideas, rather than the manipulation of symbols. A new course, individual study of mathematics, will be added to the department with the completion of the new wing. Participating students will come from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Under this plan, material will be covered at individual rates. By selecting from the wide variety of courses offered, a firm mathematical background could be gained by every MHS student.
