THE ACTION OF ACADEMICS The 1966-67 school year was the first year that a full seven-period schedule for classes was employed at Snider. Subjects were again offered to students in the areas of English: mathematics; science; social studies; foreign languages; business; journalism; fine arts, which includes art, music, speech, and drama; practical arts; industrial arts; health: and physical education. With the newly completed building, modern educational con- veniences, such as the reading and foreign language labs, were available to all Panthers. These advantages pro- vided every student with the best of opportunities for a good education. Meaningful knowledge could be obtained and interests broadened. Talents and skills were both acquired and put to use. Those who excelled in each area were given special recognition for their extra efforts. Ac- tion took the form of a progressive education that chal- lenged and increased the learning capacity of each in- dividual student. AH.
