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.

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

Creative Practicality Students in the Industrial Arts classes were encouraged to be creative and found that many practical items could be made. Metal engraving, leather work, and wood work were studied in Industrial Crafts. Many of the participants made useful objects for themselves and their homes. Manufacturing students made carbon dioxide propelled cars which they raced against each other. They also constructed plastic objects and experimented with metal casting. 2 1.
