Social Studies — A Learning Experience The Social Studies Department, headed by Mr. Francis Ray, enlightened the minds of our students this past year. The entire department should be commended for giving a firm background in history, government, geography and economics to the students. They supplied them with a storehouse of knowledge. The job of facing a classroom full of eager students has never been easy, but the Social Studies staff did it. It seems that Mr. Koester ' s pen cooperates as much as his Is Mr. Herber really two years old or is he afraid he won ' t be able class does during the course of the day. to blow out that many candles?

Everybody ' s Experimenting! It ' s true! A majority of Dwenger students entered the field of sci- ence. The reason was that the Science Department offered a great variety of courses. Anatomy and Physiology pupils in- vestigated life but had to kill frogs to do it. Physical Science students, studied energy and discovered they had none. Biology and Advanced Biology classes were quick to learn that dissecting before lunch pro- vided a great incentive for sticking to a diet. In Earth Science, some stu- dents explored the world of their own backyard — earthquakes, gla- ciers, and rock formations?! Chem- istry, Physics and Descriptive Physics students besides studying the usual compounds, mixtures, and theories, did their best to concoct a way to explode the second floor, but their heroic efforts failed when the Bun- sen burners refused to light. A word to the wise for those not enrolled in a science class — get in one because that ' s where it all happens! Mrs. Smulkstys, in her first year of teaching at Dwenger, assists her students in pertorming an experiment. What kind of a reaction are they expecting? Is this how Tom Paige prepares for Physics? John Gibson and Randy Garrett ask the all important question: Is it or isn ' t it? 26 ACADEMICS
