The Survey Of Science As one would walk up to the third floor, one could hear that old familiar phrase, “What is that smell?” Most people knew that the smell was coming from the science rooms. Anatomy students found themselves squeamish as they dissected cats and other animals. Rain and sunshine became important to the Creative Horticulture students who labored in the courtyard. Other students were to be found in Electric Circuits class and Biology performing experiments. Fewer catastrophes occurred as students became more knowledgeable about science. 1. Miss O’Dell points out the interesting parts of the dogfish to Chip Hitt and Lynn Garst. 2. Chemistry students soon learn that science often means discovering and learning concepts with one’s own imagination and initiative. 3. Sherry Burton demonstrates how to handle test tubes without breaking them. 4. Sean Kelly proudly displays his dissected dogfish. 76

The Sound Of Music 1. All eyes are on Mr. Snyder as the Chorale performs in Enrichment for the students. 2. Working hard, the stage band creates music for a school program. 3. Playing the clarinet takes much concentration for Mary Azar. 4. Beth Crotts and Kim Corvin warm up before band class. As students walked through the double doors south of room 104, they were not only faced with music coming from the band and choir rooms, but also with such sights as girls twirling rifles and flags as they practiced for the band’s new half¬ time program. Totally new to the music department was the addition of a military style marching show. The Chorale welcomed the addition of Elmarie Smith, our foreign exchange student, which brought their membership to 51, an all-time high. Girls’ and Mixed choirs worked hard to present their two annual concerts while the Madrigal Singers labored to perfect their technique of a cappella singing. The ten students enrolled in music theory and the six in Music Appreciation studied music on an advanced level. 75

Mock Election Ofl977 The Social Studies department offered a wide variety of classes, ranging from required courses such as American History to elective courses such as Minority Groups. Three courses were dropped from the curriculum while a new government teacher, Mr. Bondurant, arrived on the Lewis scene. A big success sponsored by the Social Studies department was the mock election held in Enrichment. Six senior classmen were chosen to represent the candidates for President and Vice-President of the U.S. The Enrichment program was enjoyed by everyone including the candidates. Presidential candidate Jimmy Carter won the election at Lewis by a narrow victory over President Gerald Ford. 3 1. Students work very diligently on social studies lab sheets. 2. Jim Migliarese, representing Jimmy Carter, candidates for the Presidency of the United States in the mock election. 3. Mr. Landis instructs students in sociology on the dynamics of group psychology. 77
