Steve Ward Election year sparks interest in politics, in social studies The 1968 political campaign played an important role in the social studies curriculum. Politics and early American development were examined in American History and American Government. This year, for the first time, an honors course was offered for American History. This course contained the usual survey, as well as emphasizing past causes of present social and economic prob- lems. The newest facets of social studies were the introduction of material on black intluences on the American way of lite. Also class dramatizations were used to make historic happenings more un- derstandable. World History, International Relations, Sociology, and Economics were offered for the college-bound student. Copy by Tom Mickle POLITICAL PROPAGANDA provided many questions for Mary Hazen and Joanne Sealock. 25

RATE, DIRECTION, AND DISTANCE for- mulas are put to use in calculus by Janet Patterson, Terry Quinn, Fred Dahm, and Ted Rozeboom. Steve Ward Math adds calculus; art expands methods The math department added calculus to its cur- riculum this year. Taught by Mr. Wood, calculus is a complicated algebra with practical applications, intended for advanced study before college. Mr. Heideman and the department reevaluated the courses offered and stressed that students not col- lege bound should be given a broader backaround. Students taking art, 150 each semester, were in smaller classes this year because of separate teach- ing. Both new this year, Mrs. Schneider and Miss Gugel incorporated more visual aids and activi ties such as egg tempera, silkscreen, and weaving into the classes.
