Two innovations in curriculum scheduling took place with the addition of a contemporary affairs course and a change in the format of driver training. The addition of a new wing brought new and better opportunities for students to grow academically. Lecture rooms in the wing enabled large group instruction for biology, health, and driver training. Students were offered a variety of courses and could attend the Area Vocational-Technical School, or take either the House Renovation Program or the Cooperative Organized Occupational Learning Program. School life was made more interesting when classes made field trips to several places. Ray Erb's contemporary affairs classes traveled to the courthouse to sit in on trials and many club members throughout the year attended national conventions to discuss and form methods of function and new ideas. School was never dull from the moment the bell rang in the morning until it rang at 3 p.m., commented junior Diane Kurtz. It was something we looked forward to because there was always something different and new! Cheerfulness and sunny dispositions were common among students at Whitehall as each day provided something different and students grew to be better friends. education 22
