SOCIAL STUDIES ENGLISH The Growth of Man and His Language Discussing what has happened in the past, how the past reflects on the present and future, and how history repeats itself is a general idea of what is discussed in the social studies classes. The Social Studies Department gained a new instructor this year, Mr. William Koltz. Mr. Koltz teaches world and United States history, and senior economics. Who we are, where we came from and where we're going,” is the viewpoint Mr. Duane Richardson takes when he teaches his classes.

Mr. Sweet's ninth and eighth grade classes include the study of grammar and writing of stories and themes. Mr. Robert Currie English classes include the reading of a novel and also a research paper.

FINEARTS German Classes Visit E.M. U. The Fine Arts Department for the 1975-76 school year includes an all-school choir, and two bands. These bands are the junior high and senior high bands, each being directed by Mr. Kevin McMullin. Mr. McMullin also teaches a German I class, and to help carry his class to its full extent, is Mr. Rick Beck, a junior at Olivet College, who also teaches German I and II. When the two of them got together, they came up with the idea of going to a Language Arts day at Eastern Michigan University in March. THS students put on a puppet show, as well as other schools putting on various skits. Mrs. Gladys Pileri has had a very full year with her junior and senior high art classes. She has been keeping them busy, along with having them make the decorations for the Cabaret, and putting up the Christmas decorations in the halls at school. (Above) In a candid art class shot.
