 Mass Media Broadcasts WMHS WMHS was one of the unique class activities the English students undertook. The radio station was broadcasted to the entire school in the mornings. The Mass Media and Journalism classes learned valuable information from visits to WEKZ and the Monroe Evening Times, the distributors of the MHS Timepiece . Other English classes included Creative Writing, Research Procedures, Speech, Mythology, and a number of Literature courses. Some of the classes in the English Department participated in an English Skills examination administered by the U.W. Platteville. The test provided the students with experience in taking college entrance type tests and their results were used by the university as a basis for validating the tests.

Class procedures included lecture, daily lessons, and group problems. The Math courses offered were General Math, Algebra I, Algebra II, Advanced Math, Probability and Statistics, Trigonometry, Calculus, Plane Geometry, and Plane and Solid Geometry. Many of the classes were college preparatory because of the many career opportunities and college requirements involving math.

Interns Strengthen French Program A number of foreign movies and readings from foreign publications, such as Bunte and Chez nous, aided in expanding the foreign language students' vocabulary and knowledge. In addition, the German students listened to a tape series about industrial espionage and created group skits. Herr Holtman advised Die Kasermacher and Deutschlandverein. Ms. Discher and Ms. Morris student-taught French, each having one semester at MHS. French IV students taught basic words and phrases to the elementary school students. The Spanish classes had guest speakers from Peru, Ecuador, and Nicaragua. Some students traveled to the Elvehjem Art Center in Madison to view Spanish art. Ms. Kukainis, a graduate from U.W. Madison, became the Spanish teacher and advisor of Spanish and Mexico clubs. CLOCKWISE, UPPER LEFT: Foreign Language Department, FRONT ROW: Vija Kukainis, Susan Morris-French intern.
