En lish Dept. experiments with team-tau ht class In maintaining the pace of current changes in the study of languages, Southside experimented with differ- ent approaches to teaching English. A team-taught junior class, in which group work and independent study were emphasized, encouraged the stu- dent to concentrate in his weakest fields. Mrs. Zuercher and Mr. Kel- lems, the instructors, helped their classes learn how to study properly. A two-semester drama class, insti- tuted this year, studied great plays as well as the mechanics involved in public speaking, They performed for each other and took field trips to the Muncie Civic Theater. Speech classes gave students much needed practice in talking before groups, often an important part of making the grade in the school and the business and professional worlds. Speech topics ranged from Vietnam to stamp-collecting to contact lenses. journalism classes gained exper- ience in Hsmelling out the newsn and writing up stories to meet a deadline. In standard English classes sopho- mores read Silas Marner and The Light in the Forest, while senior world literature students explored Crime and Punishment and Plato's Apology. Senior English students burned the midnight oil writing term papers, a feared, often frustrating, but usually rewarding project.

In the study of modern languages, Mrs. jones made the cultures of France and Spain come alive through the media of movies, magazines, and class reports. Mrs. Cilmoreis Caesar section of Latin emphasized the historical hack- ground of Latin, centering attention on the Roman myths and the govern- ment in the time of Julius Caesar. In Octoher the class had a Roman hanquet, complete with togas and pomegranates for atmosphere. The language lah was instrumental in giving the students a chance to hear themselves recite and to understand native speakers. Mrs. Mildred jones 30
