nrtistic talents developed through cultural pursuits This was Mrs. Denise Leslie's first year to teach at Attica High School. She challenged her students with many creative art projects. Her seventh and eighth grade classes made several classroom projects that gave everyone a chance to take part. Her advanced classes focused on more individual effort, with such things as designing a homeg painting a perfect worldg and making clay and plaster of paris figures. Her aim was to let each student de- velop his artistic ability, and develop an appreciation for art. Miss Janie Hornung, a 1970 graduate of Indiana University School of Music, began her teaching career here at Attica. She teaches seventh and eighth grades general musicg di- rects the Junior and Senior High Chorus. Under her direction the combined choruses have given some very entertaining concerts. Miss Hornung also teaches general music to the fifth and sixth grades.

Social Studies ranges from man's beginning to beha The social studies department covers a wide range of subject mat- ter. In the junior high years, Mr. Kenneth Frauman and Mr. Robert Gass, are primarily concerned with geography of our coun- try and others. World History's main purpose is to give the students a knowledge of man's development from the beginning to the twentieth century. While instructing this class Mr. Harry Basan develops in his stu- dents an understanding of the differences among people due to dif- ferences in environment. United States history is a required class taken in the junior year and taught by Mr. Frauman. This class creates an appreciation of American civilization through comparing the past with the present. Government and Psychology are united together in one school year with each one occupying one semester. Mr. jacob Sisk teaches the seniors both of these classes. Government attempts to arouse an appreciation of American democracy and the democratic process by which we govern ourselves. Psychology is the study of human behavior. It is hopeful that the students will have a better under- standing of themselves and others. Mrs. Paula Williams' Sociology class is a one semester study and investigation in the field of things rather than of persons. Another one of Mr. Gass' classes is Economics. Its aim is to learn the concepts of American economy. 30
