Watergate Floods History Scene Watergate, the scandal that rocked the political balance of our nation, also rocked the minds of Sr. Phyllis Stoeckinger’s senior American government class. Four- teen students were so involved in the matter that they gave up a free day, March 8, to come and listen to Sr. Phyllis lecture for 1 Vz hours. The other three quarters of the senior social studies classes were spent studying psychology, sociology, and economics (in which Mr. Wayne Reeves spent five weeks teaching the students how to file income tax forms). Visual lear- ning projects included collages that expressed what students ex- pect of life. Sr. Phyllis also taught the freshman world history class where the freshmen studied world awareness, cultures, history and world affairs. Part of the first quarter was spent playing the toothpick game.” Students were given names of different countries and asked to plot them out on the map with toothpicks. The object of the game was to see how many countries they could plot in a given time. While Sr. Phyllis’ classes were spent studying world history, Mr. John Lawler’s classes were spent studying American history. Topics varied from the Civil War to the Constitution of the United States. As part of the American govern- ment affairs, seventeen juniors were selected to participate in the annual County Government Day held in Wahoo, November 8. Fourteen out of the seventeen juniors assemble in the gym as they wait for their departure to County Government Day. 16

Science is Hair-raising Experience Science took a feminine touch in the study of cooking and laundering. This plus the metric system, auto mechanics, the space system, meteorology, ecology, health conservation, and plumbing were taught by Sister Marie Aliceostry. Another new experience for the advanced biology class was the trip to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Lincoln. A tour was taken of the various laboratories of the hospital and a slide presentation was seen on operations. The richness of pearls was pocketed by some of the sophomore biology students who found the pearls while dissecting clams. Experiments were made in the use of the senses. Busy making sugar crystals (otherwise known as candy) and various shapes of candles, under the supervision of Miss Mary Lu Sydik, were the freshman IPS classes. Miss Sydik also taught the chem-phys classes through the packet approach. 18 Y J if Mary Breunig and Kathy Kavan watch as Sister Marie Alice shows Mary Vlcan the right way to use a stethoscope.
