The Black and Gold 1977
Diversified Electives search for self-identity
An assortment of electives gave students the chance to seek their own self identity. New textbooks and a language laboratory from Central Intermediate School were new learning aids for the Foreign Language Department. The most popular classes, evident through enrollment increases were Spanish, Japanese, Conversational Japanese (practical usage) and French.
Training students to ascertain individual creative expressions with their hands, the Art department emphasized humanitarian art through courses such as Basic Art, Ceramics, Weaving and Textile Design.
In January, students who displayed promising artistic talent entered the National Scholastic Art Contest by submitting portfolios of their work.
Leadership skills such as parliamentary procedures, group dynamics and speech were some techniques studied by student council officers in the Leadership Training Program. By utilizing these techniques, the officers became more proficient in skills to handle major responsibilities that came with student government work.
As a service to the school. the Audio Visual and Publications departments were the mediums for dissemination and the distribution of information for McKinley's students.
A staff made up of four editors, hardworking reporters and an enthusiastic advisor made sure The Daily Pinion was completed each day so that the students of McKinley were informed of the happenings around the campus.
Getting ideas, taking pictures, creating layouts and composing copy were what Yearbook members were concerned with. Planning began in March the year before and continued through summer so staffers could get an early start on deadlines.
Basic scholastic journalism as well as the responsibility of getting the printed work done was learned in both Newswriting and Yearbook.
