LANGUAGE ARTS Mrs. Margaret Dodd B.S. South Dakota State English Mr8. Helen Heeter A.B. Manchester Latin and English Mr. Raymond Reed B.S. Oakland English and Commerce Mrs. Nedra Dudley B.S. Goshen English Mr. Webster Carr B.S. Valparaiso A.B. Valparaiso M.S. Indiana University Science and German As we progress in school and our adult life, the communication skills, reading writing, and speaking, become more and more important. Through diversified language arts programs, we are well-trained in these areas. Last fall, students were writing I Speak for Democracy radio scripts. Because these scripts were read over the public address system, both content and manner of delivery were stressed. Judges, who were seated in different rooms listening to the presentations, selected a winner , Dorothy Jones. Many students in grades 9-12 participated in the district oratorical contest. Their sponsors were Mr. Reed and Mrs. Heeter. The winners at the local level represented our school in the county oratorical contest. In our literature classes we are introduced to many outstanding authors and their works. Although some of the stories and articles are difficult to understand, literature, nevertheless, stimulates the students to read for pleasure, inspiration and information. Critical thinking is also developed through the study of literature. Although a major in English is required at Rolling, two years of Latin and German are also offered. Pictures, charts, magazine articles, and other displays can always be found in Room 1 showing the derivation of English words from Latin stems. More than 50 per cent of our English words are derived from Latin. Greek, Roman, and German cultures can be experienced by the students studying these foreign languages. 25

HOME E C . Home economics is offered to the seventh through twelfth grade girls. One might think that all the girls do is to learn how to plan, prepare, and serve meals and to make clothing. This they do learn, but many more things are taught also. They study the rules of etiquette to learn a more desirable social behavior. In the home nursing course the girls learn how to care for the sick by using classmates as patients. The seniors look toward the future by planning their wedding, complete with trousseau and showers. Money management is often quite a problem in the financial success of a family so budgeting, all types of buying, insurance, and investments are studied.
