Bookkeeping Carol Hartman explains a book- keeping problem, which has stumped the other students. Knowledge of bookkeeping is in- valuable not only for future men and women of business, but also for each person who wishes to be successful in budgeting his mon- ey. Realizing this, students find the classes interesting and worth- while. Chemistry Mr. Hartman looks on as Nancy Bixler and Barry Kraatz perform an experiment on lime water fil- tration. Becoming familiar with the elements and how they react when combined chemically, stu- dents discover many secrets of the universe and gain an under- standing of modern science. Driver draining Mr. Matthew gives his approving smile as Barry Kraatz names the parts of the engine. James Kint- zer listens intently, for his turn is next. These boys, as well as the other juniors in driver train- ing classes, get first-hand expe- rience in driving and car care and learn the basic rules for safety on the highway. 45

Qerman James Bertram reads ’’Die Kinder, while the rest of the class follow in their books. Most students find German interesting, since many of their ancestors came from Germany. German classes read many interesting short stories as well as listening to German records and reading the novel Immensee. Snglis d The tenth grade students prepare the themes Mrs. Matthew has as- signed them. English classes spend a great deal of time writing creatively, for this activity stim- ulates the imagination and gives students an opportunity to apply what they have learned about ef- fective writing. Reading, speak- ing, and listening activities are also included in the English pro- gram. History Paul Himmelber ger , Edwin Meredith, Joan Troutman, and Mary Long make use of reference books in their search for materi- als to supplement their textbook information about the Ancients. From the facts they gather, stu- dents prepare projects which are used as visual aids. ■»6
