ACADEIVI ICS Book reports, essays, equations, theorems, brush strokes, drilling, pounding. . . Even though sometimes bemoaned an'd begroaned by the students as repetitious and stiff, the everyday work of classes is an essential and vital part of our school. By receiving a thorough knowledge of facts, one is enabled to deal with different ideas and discussions intelligently, and make sensible estimations. However, important as these basic learnings are, many special creative opportunities for the students are innovated into the regular classwork For instance, some classes went on field trips to radio stations, factories, and museums, while others shared experiences in sensitivity training, enjoyed dramatic interpretations, and delighted in biological study on the nature trail.

English classes present many projects The English department of PHHS has taken part in a number of unusual and interesting proj- ects. All English classes were active in group discussions plus being busy with the traditional six week book reports. The jour- nal Gazette Spelling Bee offered a challenge to seventh and eighth grade students. This was conducted strictly on a volun- tary basis. Senior English classes presented a play called, The Secret Search As The World Turns Into The Edge Of Tomor- row. This was a satirical play written, and acted out com- pletely by the English classes. Seniors also gave an interpretive presentation of T. S. Elliot's, The Hollow Men, on February 6. An entirely new class was created in the English Depart- ment and this was Composition Class, taught by Mr. Rubley. Stan Notestine, presents an oral book report to his English class. He doesn't appear to mind this dreaded task. -- . J.: - ' . 7 15.5131 - . . H M . . ,. ,,,. .1 ,555 at 'S 30 Academics Terri Hoyer, introduces her parents to Mr. Rubley during open house
