Later in the year the class- es were used to explain registration procedures. Seniors overwhelmed by vast numbers of post-graduate career choices found advice in the guidance office. Those planning to go on to college or vocational school, about 60? of the graduating class, were able to take college entrance tests administered by the counselors. These tests and a voca- tional interest inventory, a preliminary aptitude test for juniors and the Iowa Tests helped the department fulfill its major function: the educational, vocational, and personal guidance of students through an understanding of self.

A new resource center was added to be used by the Basic English students. Included in the center was equip- ment designed to help the student read and comprehend at a faster pace. In Classical English IO, greater emphasis was put on the Theater unit. Modern English I0 classes had basic units as themes which they could apply to their daily lives. New units included Speech and Science Fiction. Theater arts began a selective program in the second se- mester in which students chose a specific area such as direct- ing, set design, dance, or make up, and worked in groups to produce a play. During the year, each student was required to work at least ten hours on a play. Seniors made two trips to Tyrone Guthrie Theater to see the plays Arturo Ui and TweUIh Night. Charles Keating, a ballad singer from the Guthrie, performed for classes in the Little Theater before singing for students in the lower commons. Experimenting with individuality, Mr. Mork's Classical English I2 students each chose one author to study in depth. They were graded on informal discussions of their authors. instead of being given a final test. The newly redone English Resource Center provides a quiet place for exchange student Anna VanWely, and many other serious students. to work on daily assignments and to pursue individual interests.
