Anthropology was offered as an elective to the seniors and was a year course. Mr. David Stemle and his students delved into the study of man in relation to distribu- tion, origin, classification, and relationship of races, physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture. No text was used for this course so much material was collected from National Geo- graphic articles and information that Mr. Stemle ran off on ditto for the class. He also brought in many fossils, arrowheads, and artifacts from his personal collection to il- lustrate the lessons he taught. Research in the library was also an integral part of this course. On the junior level, a new course was offered to one class that had previously been offered only to seniors. Mr. Ed Schickel taught a psychology course in the mornings.

Mrs. Frame taught French I, II, III and Flight moderator. |he language department acquired air- conditioners for the language lab located in Room 101 and was the brainstorm of Mr. Harry Rosado teacher of Spanish and a Latin extraordinaire. Along with the hum of the other electronic equipment, the drone of the air conditioners could be heard on hot after- noons. One could find it hard sometimes to get anyone ' s attention in the lab to answer the door with the students busy listening to tapes over the earphones. Mr. Rosado taught Spanish I to the fresh- men and Spanish II to the sophomores and used the lab as his home base. At times he would let Mrs. Rosalie Frame, who taught French I and French II, and a French III course to the juniors, use it to help the students parlez francaise electronically. One of the highlights of the year for the language department was when sophomores, Keith Eaton and Mike Crow won first and second place in state competition Category A in the national Spanish test. Mr. Rosado made sure everyone on the faculty knew about it he was so proud of them. ' Tfc Presenting the Spanish test certificate to Mike Crow and Keith Eaton is a proud Mr. H arry Rosado. 21 LANGUAGE

In cooperation with Mr. Keith Higdon ' s English class, they were assigned a term paper in world history. Mr. McAnally graded them according to the historical content and Mr. Higdon graded them on the mechanics of writing. Needless to say, Many long hours were spent in the school library doing research for this project. The juniors spent their history credit time taking American history and current events. Mr. Byron Himmelheber took his American history class on a trip to Angela Merici for a combined class activity concerning equal rights for women and to downtown Louis- ville where students spent the day interview- ing pedestrians at the mall on Fourth Street about the Declaration of Independence. In between time he tackled the Marble Hill Power Plant project on the con side. The seniors had the largest choice of elec- tives in this department: Fr. Hackett ' s col- lege credit psychology course, Bro. Roland ' s government and economics course, Mr. Eckert ' s current events, and Mr. Stemle ' s anthropology course. Ct 23 SOCIAL STUDIES
