FATHERS AND SONS TOGETHER AGAINST Games, Computer Spark Social Studies, Math Simulated stock market, convention, Congress, and election games were added to enliven social studies classes this year. Guests spoke to large groups on law and black power. American History classes made contemporary magazines as they would have appeared in colonial times. A unit on peacekeeping for the 1970's was included in World History. The department discussed adding two electives for students next year: anthropology and psychology. The new computer, shared by math and science classes, was made available for individual use after school. Calculus students developed ideas from books and presented them to the class. Students also participated in class leadership by using the overhead projector. A new book presented a dif- ferent approach to Trigonometry. Copy and layout by Susi Schlunz THE WAR.

| و سره ۱ — — — — کب‎ roe ` سح‎ Physics A Replaces Physical Science Definite changes were apparent in the struc- ture of the Science Department for the 1969-70 school year. Last year’s Physical Science course was changed to Physics A. This meant that a gen- eral physics background could be obtained without the detail involved in Physics B. Science subjects offered besides Physics A and Physics B were Bi- ology, Chemistry A and Chemistry B. Other additions to the Science Department con- sisted of the completion of a gateway and a sys- tem of posts to mark off and protect the Ames High Native Prairie. Considerable use was made of the new computer extension system in solving equations and supplying data. Science Seminar, an extracurricular study group, investigated atomic energy this year.
