The SRA Reading Laboratory, which students used twice a week, helped build reading skills and comprehension. Vocabulary words and rate builders were also in- cluded in the SRA. The main purpose of Scope, a literary magazine, was to interest potential drop-outs in reading. The students also read stories and poems, listened to records, and made book reports.

Gln this way, joe, a static charge is built up on this metal globe . . Mr. LaRose and 1. Miloser study the Van de Graaff generator in 9th grade Science class. Girls took part in one phase of the health course, first aid, by practicing on fellow students. M. Homer, K. Evans, C. Allison, N. Agostinelli. Science As long as there are questions yet unsolved, there will be men who will wonder and search for their answers, but, to find these answers there must first be an understanding of the questions. And it is here, in high school, that the foundation of the search for understanding is built. Through the various courses offered in general sciences, biology, chemistry, and physics, there is gained both a reali- zation of the answers already found and an as- sociation with the questions that remain unanswered. Thus, the basic knowledge is acquired that will be so important in the questionable future. Health Hygiene was only one of many phases covered in the health classes. Students were given a chance to learn by doingv as they practiced first aid on fellow students. Bone structure and muscles were studied with the use of models. Filmstrips and discussions also added to the study of diseases, vitamins, and correct health habits. Although the course was a required one, students found it not only interesting but helpful. .4 n '2 Elaine Karnes Patricia Keller Karen King James LaRose Iudith LaRose
