Enrollment reached its highest peak this year with crowded classrooms and not enough books to go around. But, 'on the positive side, new classes provided many new learning experiences. Mass media was the answer for those who wanted to learn how' TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines affect today's society. The growing field of electronics, with its expand- ing career opportunities, aroused the curiosity of many who chose the basic electronics classes. Others sought to develop their interest in rockets and the solar system through or study of space science. . . ,iff ,.,. .5 1 W ' 'X , mfqssib Q v ,Q I me ,, ,X A.

Teachers became jacks-of-all-trades because of the many classes offered and the numbers of students who took them. Additions to the teaching staff, making it the biggest ever, meant there were less classrooms than teachers. It was hard for some of them, not having a classroom to call their own, and as a result some teachers were in a different classroom every hour of the day. This pre- sented the unusual problem of teachers scurry- ing through crowded halls to get to class on time, often carting all their instructional mater- ials with them. ---6 Paul Lczmpkin, Mrs. ludy Caswell, Mrs. Marybeth Robb, lean Sowerwine. eachers faced with planning variety of lessons Spelling bees go over big with students in Mrs. Mary lo Smith's block class.
