3F PROJECTED IDEALISMS Jacqueline Wells Wilma White Through keen perspective and dynamic expression of thought and statement, senior EngHsh and drama students reflected life in a spectrum of individual tastes and personal impressions. The seniors displayed their view of the world with a technique known as expository writing. They probed all forms of contem- porary literature for clues to style and inspir- ation. In just 30 Days they widened their vo- cabularies and extended their intellectual horizons. The seniors rebuilt their thought processes and literary skills with a view to a better understanding of life and a more im- pelling way of representing it. In drama, another creative class, students found wider opportunity for mirroring the play of life. There was actual performing; first pantomime to educate the body, then delivery of lines to train the voice, finally whole scenes. These students continually strove to gain re- finement to create more powerful portrayals of people and events. The aim of senior English and drama, an image of reality, more nearly resembled a kaleidoscope, with as many variations as there were individual views, each hue representing an idea or ideal. Carl R. Yessen Charlotte Young Ross Jay and Andy Zide, fuse box masters, prepare to shine some light on the subject of the fall play. -29

Assuming a convenient sitting position, Mr. Eberle is skeptical of the back row ' s divided attention. HISTORICAL SIGHT In order to comprehend current politi- cal events, social science students perused the newspaper and found interests beyond local news and amusements. A wide range of courses was offered to cultivate political insight. The investigation of World History, contrasting early to modem civilizations, and American History, from ex- plorers to gerrymandei ' ing strategms, provided a comprehensive study of the past. Economics and International Relations delved into cur- rent political mazes. Citizenship correlated the social science of history, government, and economics for all seniors. With a year ' s experience in current events and history, students understood the political intricacies from September ' s test ban to May ' s presidential prognostications. Mr. Black, pondering his own testing creation, considers simplifying the falsifying elements of a few truthful statements.
