Vocational Lithography New To Industrial Arts Offerings OFFERED AS A vocational course for the first time this year, offset lithography was fully approved as a vocational education class in trades and industry. The teacher, Nlr. James E. Brown, and the class were accredited by the Colorado State Board of Education. Students taking this course first studied the history and principles of the different processes, and then put their knowledge to practical use. One process they learned was new to Wasson this year. It was two-color duo- tone, involving two screened pictures of different colors and same content printed on top of each other at a 15 degree angle. New for the auto shop was the ultimate in engine testing equipment, a Sun 10-20 engine analyzer. Also a complete Bear portable brake shop was purchased, bringing the cost of new equipment to S3,600. The graphic arts shop also received new equipment, including a strip printing machine, used for printing display types, and heat resistant rubber stamp type. Helping a drawing student, Mr. Boyer answers another question W orking on a new project for her lithography class, Carol Campbell operates darkroom photographic equipment.

Humanities Program Gives Aid to Language Department GIVING INVALUABLE aid to the Foreign Language Department this year, the Arts and Humanities Program of the Pikes Peak Region provided plays, speakers, and films, such as Magical Mexico, a brilliantafilm depicting modern Mexican life. In all of the five languages, oral skills and training have been emphasized more this year than previously. New materials, such as audio-visual based texts, have been used by the Spanish classes. Many of the foreign language teachers have visited the country or countries in which their respec- tive languages are spoken. This invaluable experience aided the teachers in presenting stimulating lectures with photographs and slides. Also, many teachers attended N.D.E.A. sponsored workshops in the summer. Two new teachers joined the staff of the Foreign Language Department this year. Miss Judy Fullmer came to Wasson from Illinois and taught French. Mr. Jon Hoffman, who previously taught in West- minster, Colorado, taught German. Seniors Tricia Wendt, John Reed, and Dave Murphylrzre intrigued by Mr. John H0ffman's new display of German nmgozinvs ondposfvrs. 29
