The psychology classes worked with mazes and puzzles, using them to understand the mental, physical and emotional ability ofindividuals. Massed and distributive methods of study gave further insight to psychology students. Working with 54 students, Miss Kennedy taught the judicial, executive, and legislative branches of the government. A model United Nations project was set up in American Govern- ment classes. Each student was a delegate from a communist, non-communist or neutral nation. Red Chinais admission to the United Nations was the topic for discussion. Guest speakers, movies and panel discussions gave students in Family Relations additional knowledge on family life. Under the direction of Mr. Mallory, Mr. Burkhart, and Mr. Partridge, students strived to solve many of the problems encountered in dating and married life, ranging from budgeting a wedding to overcoming the grief for a lost loved-one.
