Mini-courses bring break for students Fifth period sophomores become excited about the upcoming mini-courses as they register for classes. Monotony of regular school days was broken as WHS students engaged in a seven day reprieve at the end of April. For the second year in a row mini-courses were incorporated into the curriculum at WHS. The advantage of being held in the spring enabled many more classes to take place outside. Courses such as softball, archery, and bicycling, which had not been previously offered, were held in 1974 because of the ideal weather conditions. With help from many community experts, more classes were offered with better qualified teachers in the various fields. According to Counselor Jim Carlson, the most important objective of mini-courses was to provide a unique learning experience.
