Hidden Talents Discovered by Art Students If you are unusually creative, art is the class for you. Art I examined art in general this year. Students scrutinized texture, color and elements concerning the basic arts. Each student worked with color in suggest- ing ideas and depicting moods. Constructing edifices of settings for stories and plays and studying a psychology unit associated with color also were included in Art I. The sculpture unit ended the year for Art I classes. Art II was concerned this year with creativity, enabling the student to express himself in almost any field of art. This year students used the new acrylic paints, and with the use of their Minnesota Mining printing press they produced a variety of unusual prints. All students worked with water color, pen and ink, ceramics and sculpture, which were utilized on an individual basis. Art classes were active in all special school activities other than the classroom projects. Homecoming, prom and school plays involved many art students. So now, the 66-67 art classes give way to a new year. Miss Anne Moberg busily types up a test to be given to her art classes Gloria Samuelson, Trudy Simoson and Susan Edhom practice with scratch board in their Art II class.

1 .auric Riach and Diane Salo discover that experimentation demon- strates the basic concepts of physics. Asexual reproduction, valences and vectors. These words become familiar to all who study biology, chemistry and physics. Most sophomores take biology, learning such things as the formula of glucose, the experiments of La Voisicr, human reproduction and the Theory of Evolution. When the sophomores finish the year most of them know the definition of biology—the study of the growth and de- velopment of living things. Chemistry, the science dealing with the make-up of materials and what happens to the composition under certain circumstances, is tackled by either by juniors or seniors. Valences, chemical quations and the periodic table are studied and memorized. Experiments are per- formed; and example of learning by doing, giving the student a change to work out his own methods of obtaining answers Physics, an understanding for only the mathematically gifted, teaches scientific phenomena Here too, lab work is used to help the student better understand the how and why of physics; many students working out their own experiments. New at Roosevelt High this year. Mr. Charles Elving teaches the properties of the physical world Chemistry instructor. Mr. Phillip Kangas. explains the use of a balance scale. 23

NRjbfl ■ I .Fn . !)« •{ Clarity and Accuracy Are Essential to Good Newspaper Writing Worried sick because Star of the North assignments haven't been done, editor, Karlene Ruthenbeck takes one last look John Rebeau learns (hal to get an accurate story, you must lake acuurale notes. They were student reporters. Writing was their busi- ness. Their teacher, Mr. Chuck Muhich. worked for the city newspaper. The Mesabi Daily News. The informa- tion and learning came straight from “the horse’s mouth.” Almost every day the students were given a collection of facts from which they composed a story that would be acceptable for a city newspaper. They were first taught the fine points of writing a lead, the part of the newspaper story which gave their readers the basic information of the happening. They sometimes held panel talks on various matters while listeners wrote a story about it. They also were visited by people whom they interviewed. Among these were Coach John Beste in the sports light and one of our school’s student teachers who told them about his job in our school. The class is a selective subject and it is offered to those students in grades 11 and 12 who wish to know the basic points of writing. 25
