A field trip to see Fiddler On the Roof' at Clowes Hall was taken by Russian Students, while French stu- dents enjoyed a savory meal at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carboneau.

By adding a little fire Becky Stamper produces a new substance. Biology students probe into the unknown by utilizing lab time. Open Lab Great Value To Scientists The scientific theory of an open mind was even used in the scheduling of science classrooms this year. An open lab was established where biol- ogy, chemistry, or physics students could prepare their lab exercises in the same room at any time of day. The teachers shared in the supervision, helping students from all sciences with their labs. Biology and chemistry lectures were presented exclusively over a closed circuit TV to approximately 90 students at one time. The old English store room was converted into an area Where students participated in small group discus- - sions. Another room, the biology lab, was also set aside as a new area for small groups. Fundamentals of physics are discovered by Ginny Morris and Doug Sloan.

Business Students Begin Occupations Earl Dictation taken with earphones provides for individual learning. Electronic Shorthand Lnb Very Efficient A class in personal typing and a vocational business office program were the two major changes in the business curriculum this year. The non-credit personal typing classes met four modules a week for those students who wanted to learn proper rules for typing. The new vocational business program entitled the senior trainees to leave school after lunch to work at various oiiice jobs within the city. A modern electronics shorthand lab also was added. Approximately 30 students were involved in each lab. Four tapes could be played at one time at various speeds allowing each student to choose the proper speed for his dictation. r Samilla Hagee prepares to do practice exercises.
