Learning is key to social studies Social Studies is more than just repeat- ing facts and figures about the American Revolution or the Gross National Product. The Tech Social Studies Department, headed by William Siedlecki again this year, tried to acquaint the people at Tech with the economic, historic, and social situations of the people of the world. Learning is the key factor, for no matter how many social studies courses you've taken, you could never learn too much about the people of the world. lt is man's nature to be curious, and what is there better to be curious about than man? As a people, or as an in- dividual, the facets of mankind are never ending. Continue to learn. lRVlN BRIMMAGE, Evelyn Day, and Russell Bryant share a moment of insight in their Afro- American History class. NILES FOREMAN assists in making history a visual experience. HISTORY appears to be blowing in the wind as members of the History Club view the campus from one of Tech's many historic sights. f 3 'E as U

Mrs. Joan Brown, sponsor of the group, ac- companied the students on their many activities. In the fall, SAE took a field trip to the Noble School, and during January student member David Harwell was a candidate from the Indianapolis area to be Mr. SAE. He was the first Tech student to win this honor. The group was involved in the Valen- tines Day Tea with several other groups, and the students planned an Easter Egg hunt for the Children's Guardian Home and the Villa Mission. At the end of the year they planned a picnic at Eagle Creek Park. Rodney Dangerfield may complain, I get no respect, but pupils of the Explor- atory Teaching class can not make the same claim. In this course students in- terested in teaching are given a first hand look at actually handling a class situation. The students who participate in this course are sent to neighboring schools for two periods a day for one semester. They receive one credit for the class. 0PEN PUPILS' minds, advises David Har- well, known as Mr. SAE. SAE-FRONT ROW: Deborah Sanford, Leisa Hayden, David Harwell, Mrs. Joan R. Brown, sponsor.
