The industrial arts section at MHS provided the op- portunity for both boys and girls to become acquainted with shop work. Since there were no restrictions placed on course selection, girls interested in interior design were allowed to take drafting. From the twenty-seven courses offered, a large variety of study could be followed. Those who had taken part in mechanical drawing in junior high could continue advanced study in more detail. Various aspects of elec- tronics were explored by many students. For some achievements in the second year class, college credit was granted. Machine shop, woodworking, and auto mechanics rounded out the curriculum, with stress upon independent projects and outside work. The MHS language department again offered courses in Latin, German, French, and Spanish. First year stu- dents were taught beginning grammar rules and vo- cabulary; while emphasis was placed on reading and composition in advanced classes. The understanding and the speaking of the languages provided the best means of learning basic grammar and speech, although movies and lab tapes supplied additional material. Upon its completion, the new academic wing will house all the language facilities. The lab, which is used by all classes excluding Latin, will be moved so that it is adjacent to the language classrooms. 20

History Varsity Basketball Assistant Sophomore Baseball Consulting the sociology reading list, Mr. Jack Miller and Miss Kathleen Curry locate several books for students. As Viet Nam War Continues to Smolder Sociology was added to the social science department curriculum this year. Mr. Miller taught this course to sen- iors interested in the origins of civilization. A semester of study in this field gave the students knowledge of past events and how man has played a vital role in our society. Economics and geography were again offered for students interested in a more detailed study of the physical and in- ternal structure of our country. Sophomores learned the basic concepts of world history from the time of prehistoric man to modem man by study- ing each country in detail. Group studies done by the stu- dents added to the text information. In the junior year, students studied our country from its discovery to the pres- ent, learning how it operates. The honors program started in the junior year was continued through the junior year. Some classes used debates and others used class reports and political campaigns to enrich their study of history. Ending the social studies training required in high school was government. Seniors investigated the operation of our government along with a view of Communism. Weekly American Observers, a paper published as a summary of the week’s events, and articles from new r s magazines supple- mented the senior studies. Reviewing the answers from their recent quiz, Miss Frances John- son asks, “Who founded the first colony in America?” 19

Through art and music, MHS students followed a creative enrichment program to cultivate their talents. Objectives of both departments were to improve the talents of individuals and to increase their apprecia- tion of the fine arts. For those interested in performing in instrumental groups, MHS provided a 101 piece concert band and a 60 piece orchestra. Musicians attained positions in both organizations through audition. Mixed Chorus, A Capella, Sophomore, and Con- cert Choirs completed the music program. In all four sections, sight reading and rhythm were stressed. Members of Concert Choir, after winning first place in state-wide competition last year, and band met in summer rehearsals to improve their skill. Art classes concentrated on two dimensional design in brush, pen, and pencil. After this background was firmly established, students proceeded with more em- phasis on technical skills. Pottery and crafts offered media for those who showed an interest in design and its effects upon material. In advanced classes stone and silver cutting were introduced. Art appreciation, taught for one semester, sought to acquaint pupils with the reasons behind historical and modern art. The language lab, a valuable audio-lingual aid, provides the op- portunity for students to practice dialogues and sentences through the use of recordings.
