The Journalism I class is learning how to evaluate a newspaper as Mr. Bondy criticizes an issue of the school paper his students produce. Special Interest Classes Require Extra Effort Perhaps among the most interesting and most de- manding of courses offered a student are drama, debate, and journahsm, — instructed by Miss Karolyn Sherfey, Mrs. Peggy Turner, and Mr. Howard Bondy, respectively. Through these special interest subjects the individual learns to make use of any creative ability he might possess. The journalism student learns the processes involved in producing a yearbook and a newspaper; the debate student, good articulate argu- ment and the student of theatre, all aspects of the stage. Mr. Bondy f Miss Sherfey Mrs. Peggy Turner listens apprehensively as Miss Karolyn Sherfey exclaims, I ' m gonna moider this kid ! 21

Interest in Foreign Languages Continues to Increase The four foreign languages offered — French, German, Latin, and Spanish — help develop world understanding. Teaching the customs and languages of Germany is Mrs. Pat Sloboda. The importance of this language has increased over the years and the students find it interesting to retrace its historical value to Germany. Mrs. Jo Anne Hollar and Mr. Glenn Johnson take their students on a daily trip to France. The French classes are the primary users of the excellent language lab which furthers the understanding of the basic fundamentals of the language. Sometimes called the dying language, Latin is still the basis for all the other dialects. Miss Nancy Kline holds the interest of her students with tales of old Roman customs and ancient myths. Having lived in Nicaragua, Mr. Lee Janssen has more than enough experience to relate to his classes all the local color of a once Spanish colony. Today Spanish is one of the most inter- esting of languages; and the students in Mr. Janssen ' s classes have the opportunity of learning from one who has this first hand experience. Not even the camera distracted the attention of these diligent students using the language lab. Mrs. Sloboda and Mrs. Hollar greet the class with a cheery Good Morning! in their respective languages in an unusual first hour combination. Miss Kline 20
