Renzedial reading claw begim With the aid of federal funds, Roosevelt High School secured a new reading laboratory this year. This expensive and much-needed equipment was used in remedial reading classes taught by Mr. Arthur Pogosolf and Mrs. Eileen Pa- lucki. The program was constructed to meet the needs of those students whose reading proficiency needed professional and individual guidance. A new edition to the language arts curriculum was a drama class headed by Miss Diane Sarkotich and Mr. John Pause. This class hoped to attain an atmos- phere in which activities were student-led and directed. Allowing this type of format permitted students to corral their energies toward goals they estab- lished as relevant. Very active this year was the foreign language department which includes Spanish, French, and Latin. The Spanish Club offered students the exciting op- portunity to journey to Spain under the supervision of teacher, Mr. Juan Rodri- quez. The trip proved to be immensely successful both socially and education- ally for students were prompted to utilize language skills developed in class. .,,-vo-v-u-wld if book.

Several students attended a federally sponsored program pertaining to the characteristics of successful leaders. The class was conducted at Roosevelt by Mr. Todd. During the school year, numerous students from Economic and Social Problems classes attended conferences each month in Chicago. Students from many other schools assembled and a qualified panel of experts lectured on a wide range of world affairs. Among the topics discussed by students after the lec- ture were a U.S. and China detente, Apartheid in South Africa, Relations of Red China, and Freedom of the Press. The program was sponsored by the Chi- cago Council on Foreign Relations. A program concerning unions was also made available to interested students. Informative meetings were held on Saturday mornings to discuss and resound on the influence and importance of Unions in todays economical society. Mr. Torhan, the supervisor of the East Chicago Social Science department, was the enthusiastic supporter and initiator of this and all the other projects.
