Classes take on a new look Formal teaching was just one of the many things that went on in the classroom. Teachers employed various methods of instruction other than lecturing, such as field trips, movies, slides, speakers, and even games. The stu- dents not only kept their interest in class, but became actively involved. Mock trials in Sociology, dissections in Biology, bowling in Phys. Ed. and competitions in the Vocational courses were all methods of keeping students' interest high. The Language and English departments took on a new look. The Language department in an attempt to improve students' speaking ability purchased a Language lab, which consisted of headphones and a tape recorder. This enabled the teacher to listen to the students individually or as a group. The English department was in a transition year for Juniors and Seniors. Due to the many schedul- ing problems caused by mini-courses, many were dropped from the schedule this year with only the essen- tial ones being kept. Mini-courses such as Composition, Research and Literature will eventually be incorporated into a full year course. From mock trials to dissecting, the new Language lab, and the transition of the English department from mini- courses to full year courses, curriculum is at a Turning Point at Reserve.

Talented hands ioin keen mind Western Reserve has an excellent Vocational program which is known by few people. There is for instance, a Horticulture program for those students wishing to work with plants as a profession. Auto Body is another one of our many programs where students can learn to paint, assemble and repair cars. Welding, Woods, Metals and Drafting are the other Industrial Arts courses offered here at Reserve. The Practical Nursing program is another example of our worthwhile programs. Not only does a student learn to become a nurse, but when graduation arrives a student nurse becomes a practical nurse after suc- cessfully passing her State Board Exam. The Steno, Clerical and Ac- counting blocks train people for of- fice jobs. Steno prepares students to become stenographers emphasizing shorthand and improving skills in Ss? . .e typing and accounting. The Clerical program is every bit as practical as the Steno program in training stu- dents for general office work. Ac- counting, true to its name trains those wishing to work with money and books. These programs are useful for those of us who are not planning to go on to college, but, yet want a good job after graduation.
