THE ACADEMICS TRAIL Studies are an important part of the days activities in any school. Many subjects were offered at Adams Central this year and students chose those that in¬ terested them . The usual rou¬ tine was changed completely with the switch to the float system. Unlike other years, classes met only four days a week for 70 minutes a day. Although psy¬ chology and Latin were dropped from the curriculum, industrial arts was added and Spanish III was offered. The high school ate lunch during two separate lunch periods. There was no homeroom in which to work on lab reports or compare book¬ keeping. Instead, fourth periods on Thursday were replaced by a n activity period. Although the daily routine was changed, stu¬ dents still had to study for weekly tests and semester exams. '

Lectures, General Elections and Problems This year at AC, Mr. Mossburg and Mr. Hilbert brought students closer to U.S. History, World History and cur¬ rent happenings. Slides and movies of historic happenings were discussed after being shown. Questions were asked and answered, and tests were suffered through. The different wars were compared and linked together -- how they began, how they were fought , how they ended, and the similarities and differences. Discussions were often held on the draft since most boys were interested in this topic. Mr. Hilbert tries intently to find the lost colony . U.S. History students focus their minds on the day ' s lesson with varying degrees of intentness. 16
