Library and Art Appeal to Many Students During any hour of any day a scene like the one above can be seen in the school library. Magazines, reference books, encyclopedias—they all have their place in education. From left to right around the table in the foreground are: Margaret Delinck. Pat Herman, Julie Hinricksen, Margaret Nichols, Ronald Reeder, Albert Yelich. and Joe Hegyi. Our school librarian. MISS KATHY ARBUCKLE, is shown here checking out a book in her temporary quarters. No student ever finds her too busy to help him find reference material for a term paper or a suitable book for a book report. Miss Arbuckle also sponsors the cheerleaders. Although most of her classes this year are in the grade school. MRS. LENORA SMITH has one high school group. She is leading the students through a survey of all phases of art. showing how the basic art elements tie in with all forms of art. At Christmas time, the pupils studied the theater arts and made stage sets for their favorite Christmas carols.

f Shop Department Trains Future Industrialists Teaching embryonic draftsman how to letter properly and to make working drawings is just one of MH. JOHN LINLEY’S many tasks. In his wood shop classes he teaches the use of all hand tools and emphasizes the use of safety measures in handling power equipment. His students have turned out many professionally finished articles such as pump lamps, TV chairs, coffee tables, desks, and gun cabinets. A ready smile and a shop apron are characteristic of MR. HERBERT PEARSON. His specialty is metal shop, in which he gives an exploratory course to determine the boys’ aptitudes. His students are taught the care and use of hand and machine tools, and basic manufacturing techniques. They have made beautifully crafted tools such as ball peen hammers containing small tools in their hollow handles. High school boys have a splendid opportunity to become acquainted with the metal machinery used in industrial manufacturing. The shop equipment includes a drill press, a milling machine, a shaper, grinders, and lathes. In the pic- ture above, Mr. Pearson is explaining a counter boring operation on an engine lathe to Tom Ludwig, Pete Elder, Bill Burk, Louis Berg, and Wayne Baker. -9-

From Postulates to Parallelograms Sines and cosines, arcs and circles - they’re all part of the advanced math course. As this is a college preparatory course, it is based on the theory of mathematics rather than practical application. Solid geometry is studied the 1st semes- ter and trigonometry the 2nd. In the classroom above, Barbara Brown and Bee Collard appear to be solving problems, while Bill Wheeler and Charles Johnson examine a blackboard protractor. As the sign on the background bulletin board shows. MRS. MARY LOUISE ADAMS not only teaches textbook mathematics, but also its everyday use. Although she was here for only one semester, she gave the freshmen in her classes a firm foundation in algebra and general math. If L PAO P‘A‘0’. and MR. KERMIT KERNS than any of his students, what is the resulting equation? Mr. Kerns teaches plane geometry , advanced math, and physics, but is better known to the student body as the Athletic Director. Sponsoring the sophomore class is another of his activities. - 11 -
