The English Department, one of the most essential parts of the cur- riculum, stresses development of vo- cabulary, clarity of thought, con- ciseness in writing, and enrichment of the mind through literature. Left: Mrs. Hoffman reads The Compleat Angler by Izaak Walton to a senior English class. Right: Miss Fernslcr checks to see if each junior has done his assignment in the Vocabulary Improvement Book. Left: As Mrs. Picton supervises, Carol Hollcnbach, Michael Snyder, and Barry Slear portray several of the characters from A Tale of Two Cities. Sunbury High School offers to students interested in foreign lan- guages three years of Spanish and French and two years of Latin and German. Upper right: Mr. Hoy drills the second- year German class on the inflection of adjectives. Opposite: Mr. Nesline inspires his third- year class with some Spanish Christmas spirit. Bottom: Miss Shipe translates a French sentence illustrating the use of the plu- perfect tense. WRESTLING

The Department of Mathematics runs a full course of study from first-year algebra to trigonometry and ad- vanced algebra. Left: Mr. Hatton carefully explains the formula for finding the volume of a cone to his general math class. Upper right: Mr. VanHorn helps a pupil who is having difficulty with a problem in geometry. Lower right: Mr. Jarrett illustrates to two sceptical trig students, Richard Lcib and Linda Price, that the com- plicated identity can indeed be reduced to 1 = 1. Besides expert instruction, the Science Departments boast some of the most modern equipment available. Upper right: Crystals grown by first-year chemistry stu- dents Larry Ditty and Frank Tharpe arc examined by Mr. Drick. Lower left: Mr. Keefer takes a biology class on a field trip to familiarize them with the many species of plants in the landscape of the school. Right: Shown with three industrious members of the Physics II class, Glen Kreider, Barry Conrad, and John McCahan, Mr. Hinds elucidates the principals of momentum.
