Discussions enrich ianguages Great Expectations, Silas Marner, The Scarlet Letter, and Mac- beth-old favorites, read by English students year after year. This year, however, in addition to these, other books were read and dis- cussed by some of the English classes-books ranging in subject matter from Kip1ing's Kim to Orwell's Animal Farm. Through the extended range of books discussed, students gained greater insight into the world of literature. Languages had something new to offer, too. Classes were small. Students and teachers were just a little bit uncertain as to what to expect, but third year French, Latin, and Spanish were added to this year's curriculum. This year Spanish students heard a Flamenco guitarist for the first time, Latin students saw the legend of Oedipus Rex come alive at a Kent State University performance, and Speech students gained some self-confidence by taking turns at making the morning announce- ments. Little things, perhaps, but each important in its own way. 22 'Y -,154 .. -. -,.,. v . ml- . . n..- f ' I l 1 'u With Mexican souvenirs seniors Susan Olsen and Anne Lawyer create interest in Spanish.

This year brought a great increase in the number of curriculum-correlated trips and projects. The art stu- dents' trip to the Toledo Art Museum and the Latin students' Roman banquet can be cited as two such attempts to bring students closer to what they were learning. Since this seemed to be the year of the big change, teachers were more inclined toward trying new things. And the students are quick to notice when a genuine effort has been made to provide them with something a little out of the ordinary. The single word variety well sums up the desire of both teacher and pupil. This year, perhaps more than any other year, this desire was fulfilled. Academic subjects are 1101 the only ones taught by faculty. Mr Dennis Corrigan, Mr. Elmer Smith lead a few cheers. 21
