ENGLISH' SHEECH, REMEDIAL READING Students Read Many Paperbacks, Enjoy The Language of Man Many books and magazines were read by the English, speech, and remedial reading classes taught by Reginald Pullen. Throughout the year the senior class read several books and worked in a book called The Language of Man. The juniors, sophomores, and freshmen also read books and magazines. Reader’s Digest was one of the main magazines requested of students to read. A new book added was Accent. It was some very good stories in it. The remedial reading class worked in S.R.A. (Science Research Associates) and speed-reading. The speech class was very busy preparing and giving different types of speeches and practicing their play, “Beverly Hillbillies,” which was put on for the mothers at the Mothers’ Tea and for the general public at an evening performance.

BUSINESS Personal Finance is Added to Business Curriculum Fall of 1973 started out with a bang. Classes were filled with more than an average number of active eager students taking Typing I, II, bookkeeping and business law. Personal finance was add- ed to the business curriculum as a new elective for seniors. A work experience program was also taught in conjunction with the police department. The journalism class is also under the di- rection of the business teacher. The number of students per class beginning the year were Typing I, 14 students, Typing II, 3 students, bookkeeping 12 students, business law 3 students, and journalism 7 students. Then due to schedule changes brought about the ad- justment in curriculum (the reinstate- ment of the mathematics classes) in mid September, the classes lost students. The business courses that were offered were striving to give the students basic entry skills for a general clerical area of work or to prepare them for a higher education. Robert Beitel was the business and journalism teacher. 10, Business
