Social Studies Courtroom drama at its best was characteristic of the juniors' trial, spearheaded by Mrs. Likes. At this point Cindy Shanahan seems confident that she can break down the testimony of witness Bob Ludvik. Subject matter is as diver- sified as the techniques of the three instructors, Mrs. Jerry Likes, Sister Michaelene, and Mrs. Wayne Reeves. Informative outings such as County Govern- ment Day and Mock U.N. Day in Omaha provided added in- centive for learning. Fact finding ventures with films, slides, and libraries, such as the AMERICAN HERITAGE series, proved extremely bene- ficial in permeating basic in- struction with interesting ex- amples. Outside research result- ing in term papers and heated debates, rounded out the pro- gram. Tom Voboril and Jim Hakel seem skeptical of the capabilities of the new Saunders County voting machine, pointed out by Clerk Charlie Egr. M r.
