Dennis FROM You'rHs...fqculfy Wirli more emphasis being placed on education, it is im- perative to keep abreast of new concepts in instruction and equipment. Language being the universal tool of expression, courses in English as well as foreign tongues were offered. Instituted were English honors courses, and remedial reading classes. To meet special interests, activities in dramatics, speech, de- bate, and journalism were maintained. Social studies sections helped us to comprehend national and world affairs, both past and present. The opportunities available in scientific achievement and engineering demand a familiarity with science and math. Aside from general science courses, a daily workshop was voluntarily devoted to special projects. To demonstrate our interdependence, a biology lab was conducted in conjunction with a world history class. For those dehcient in arithmetic skills, refresher courses were offered. College preparatory sub- jects were scheduled as well as special sessions for the gifted. A knowledge of practical skills has been made available in the commercial, home economics, and industrial arts depart- ments. In physical education classes, activities included individual and team sports and swimming. Health curriculum included a variety of useful programs, styled for the various age groups. Boys who enter R.O.T.C. are exempt from physical education. As the school doors close on graduating seniors, they will enter the outside world more mature, more aware of their capabilities in leadership and better able to adapt more readily to the future. ln Memoriam LOIS ANNE DILLEY May 2. 1899 August 7, 1958 The unexpected death this summer of Miss Lois Dilley left an abyss in the hearts of many. Functioning as English department head for three decades, Miss Dilley was recognized as an able friend, adviser, and instructor. Never satisfied, she strived to better herself. her school, and her pupils. Through affiliations with national, state, and local education associations, these aims were fulfilled. Miss Dilley's benevolent nature will long be revered by her co-workers. 29
