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.

Sociology, economics offere History, geography, and government-three basic courses so nec- essary to the curriculum that they are required for all tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade students, But this year something new was added to the social science program. Students were able to take a semester each of sociology and economics and gain a deeper understanding of the other social studies. Government students learned their subject not only through text- books, but also through newspapers, periodicals, and a series of lec- tures given by local people involved in city and county government or law. Each geography student selected one specific country and through extensive individual research, including library work and correspond- ence with different embassies, became Hsomewhat of an expert in the country of his choice, according to their teacher, Mr. James Dono- van. .-.pq-.1 w In charge of visual aids, Mr. William Pierce instructs sophomores Dale Fry and John Buderer where to set up the opaque projector. 24 All seniors take government.
