Brenda Jones and Su n Humes attempted to study a specimen under the microscope. Lab science afforded students the opportunity to study the wonders of natural life forms. Elaine Painter explained her exhibit in the Science Fair. Many long hours have been contributed to this project. Elaine chose to study the skeletal structure of a cat and here she explains different methods of preservation.

and Foreign Language Iasses Kathleen Keesling has worked very hard in the library to acquire more knowledge in a certain area. Mr. Zeis, student t cher, explained to Carol Love and Gary Abshire about Germany. Much interest was displayed in German this year. The English Department this year offered to students courses in drama, English grammar and composition, and American literature. It is planned to expand these offerings for the 1969-70 school year. The English classes traveled to Anderson to view the films CAMELOT and OTHELLO, a pleasant way to make literary works come alive. A variety of instructional techniques were used to attempt to interest students of all abilities in this most-important area of studies. One of the best ways to appreciate our culture's relation- ship to the world is to study the cultures of other people. Students in Spanish and German classes were exposed not only to the languages but also to the customs, dress and geography of the Spanish and German speaking peoples. Not all of the learning experiences were limited to the classroom. The German ll class spent a day at Coney Island in Cincinnati and then ate at Grammer's a restaurant specializing in German foods. The Spanish classes traveled to Wabash to enjoy Spanish food. DEUTSCHLAND MNH,

Science Dept. Gffers Pursuit of Knowledge wa Wigs Kiln Kiran Kwan WJ! nr ISHS HHN mfm These Freshmen boys, left to right, Kim Fields, Larry Ruefenacht, and Greg Allen have attempted many experiments in Lab Science. Science has taken such a large step in the last twenty years. Man has split atoms, orbited the earth, and replaced worn out human organs with plastic substitutes. Some of the science courses offered were Biology, Lab Science, Physics, and Chemistry. Shenandoah held a science fair which was very interesting. There has been much work done in all of the science departments this year. Much research has been accomplished. The Biology classes offered to the students a greater depth of study than that of the Lab Science. lVluch new equipment has been added to the Science depart- ment. In a world changing so quickly, it is necessary that we have people who have some basic scientific knowledge. Shenandoah students had available the equipment, the faculty and the opportunity to help them satisfy their curiosities about the natural and scientific world. l I 1 Hazel Dunn, Dixie Rector, John lterman, and Joe Conrad experimented with many chemicals in their Chemistry class. Here, they observe the effects of heat on a liquid when held over a Bunsen burner.
