Juniors researched the newspaper, magazine and television media where they learned how to analyze news and advertising.

At Senior level, crowded classrooms attested to stu- dent awareness of the value of American Literature, World Literature and great poetry. An independent study program developed student initiative and responsibility. By use of SRA labs, controlled reading and film strips, Mrs. Lola Howe helped good readers become expert readers.
