SOCIAL SCIENCE Classes Try Self-Teaching, Self-Grading Forming into groups, each responsible for setting up objectives, preparation of lessons conducting clas- ses, presentation of chapters from the text, and finally evaluating the group effectiveness and class perfor- mance, was an innovation tried in Roger Grabinski’s U.S. History class. This class tried self-grading over a period of nine weeks, students recording their daily grades, comparing their relative standings, assigning and justifying their self-determined grades. In American Problems class everyone subscribed to Time mogazine, took the Current Events Test which they found helpful, difficult, and challenging. It was a proud student that out-scored Instructor Frank Berry. A Civil Defense unit, well supported with films and packets, placed the need of taking precautions against the ever-present possibility of national disaster before the class.

STUDY HALL Is a Place for Study, Relaxation, and, Yes, Dreaming Two inventories were taken, at beginning of school, and, of all times, during Spring Vacation. Conference room was cleaned out and old magazines thrown out. Hoping to cut down the loss of library books, a check- point was set up. LIBRARY Has Busy Year Taking advantage of funds available under Title II of the recent Education Act, over 700 titles were ordered by April, more by the end of school. Library Assistants Sharron Gongstad and Sandy Franklin check the card files during one of their work periods. Librarian Carol Haseloff studies book titles.

Animals Show Students How to Learn Constructing a maze, securing a white rat, a guinea pig, and a rab- bit, some lettuce and cheese, and the groundwork was laid for the ob- servation of the process of learning. The alert guinea pig got an A, the indifferent rat got a C, and, alas, the timid rabbit failed. Student- teaching of chapter sections was tried in Psychology, also. “Love and Marriage” was a popular chapter for study. Large, beautiful, color maps of world population and typography, made in Denmark and Germany, were added to the Social Science De- partment. A Hearns Brothers polyconic projection map of Oregon, costing $87 and featuring an easy way of locating places, historical sites, and geographical features, was also added. This year marked a greater emphasis on the emerging countries of Africa and the turbulent nations of Asia than on the usual favorite, Europe.
