With kids still being bused for integration, the district has expanded into the inner city as well as to Waynedale on the south and to Tower Heights on the north. During the past few years, students have gradually become accustomed to busing and their new schools. Instead of feeling alone and surrounded by strangers, kids formed new friendships and felt more a part of the spirit and activities that highlighted the year. Blacks and whites still remained divided despite the efforts toward integration. Most activities other than athletic events were attended by either blacks or whites, depending on who sponsored the get-together. The curriculum offered courses such as anthropology, the study of man and his origins, and sociology, the study of man as he behaves in groups, to broaden students ' understanding of others. These classes presented such new ideas as how man ' s prejudices began, which some students had never before considered. A consciousness-raising group began in late October to help the female half of the student body understand various alternatives open to them in society. As students became more open-minded, tensions relaxed and peaceful coexistence turned into friendship.
