Foreign Language And Physical French, German, Spanish, and Latin. Which foreign language did you take? New books, tele- vision programs, dictionaries, and audio tapes all contributed to a great foreign language year. Some classes tried an ex- periment in cooperative learn- ing. Once this year Mrs. Fenton's Education Latin classes were visited by the ancient writers, Homer and Virgil. The visitors sang songs and told the class legends and myths. In the spring the Latin classes participated in an olym- piad against the Latin classes from Westerly Parkway. Students enjoyed physical edu- cation classes this year. There were units in square dancing, volleyball, angleball, baseball, wrestling, gymnastics, scooter tag, and swimming. Health classes studied the functions of the body, blood typing, repro- duction and feelings, general health, and CPR. Some classes learned basic and advanced first aid.

Music, Art, Home Ec., Shop Music students this year stud- ied music throughout the ages and participated in classroom singing. Eighth grade students were given six choices of spe- cialized music classes to take, including guitar, musical pro- duction, and recorder playing. Art classes were involved in such activities as scenery pro- duction for plays, macrame, basketry, two and three dimen- sional art and design, architec- tural design, and audiovisual media production. Seventh graders in life arts, a combination of home econom- ics and shop, studied cooking, sewing, a growing-up unit, metal shop, wood shop, and power mechanics. By the eighth grade students were ex- pected to choose between home ec, which offered a child care unit, along with advanced courses in cooking and sewing, and shop. While in shop the students worked on the two-stroke en- gine or four-stroke engine, cast items in metal, learned basic welding, or designed and con- structed items in wood. These departments offered varied fare for all students. iii-du.m,,,..,. ., .., Those high notes are really highl iDiCiolkosz, K, Rouchl V riff 'ff .tt, ,. lohn Kovalchik H- Sue Fox Pat Kelley Vg wil Hartman V Candy Smith 1 QQ V Bob Placky 5 Denny Kaltreider V , t Connie Martin Evelyn Wagner Poppy Pierce Terry Meyers Doug Arnold lim Hoy : K 553493359595 WQFIEQEY in lt's a surprise.

Their many tasks included testing, interpreting tests and other data for parents and students, keeping track of how students were doing with their classes, planning career units, and introducing students to the various educational pro- grams available in the school district.

The groups which were based in the MRC partici- pated in many activities, in- cluding hearing speakers from different fields and actually vis- iting several businesses to learn more about their operations.
