Concerned teaching incites enthusiasm In Social Studies With the world as it is today, teaching social studies is a very important job. Anyone can see that after a student leaves a social studies class, he has retained the facts and will draw sensible conclusions from what he has learned. Our community should be proud to ob- serve how unradical the students of PAHS are. Our attitude reflects the training we have received from our parents, teachers, and administrators. Hopefully, Pen Argyl graduates in years to come will demonstrate a similar healthy attitude toward the many far out movements of their time.

Denny Vough, a freshman industrial arts student, applies the finish- ing touches to his current project, a hand made chess board. We have approximately one-hundred boys enrolled in the shop programs. As students learn what things are made of Creativity Is the Role Working steadily and diligently on his masterpiece, the student creates with his own two hands the work of a master craftsman. Be it a coffee table, a bench, a house, or a new coat in Home Ee., the completed pro- ject is always a work of art, different from everyone else's. Perhaps this singularity is good, for sometimes no one but the creator can tell what his masterpiece is supposed to be. Cn the other hand, the beginnings of almost every great inventor were small and insignifi- cant. Who knows where these students of PAHS may end up? One of fifty mechanical drawing students Ralph Behler concentrates on his isometric drawing project. Many designs and blue prints are entered in various art shows throughout the area.
