Trying the psychology taste test is Mrs. Hodapp. FIZZZ . . . Can you tell the difference between Coke, Pepsi, and 7-Up? Once you have your iingers on your nose, a blindfold on your eyes and the cup in your hand, you would be surprised at the results. Mrs. l'lodapp's lst Semester, 4th hour class tested their senses. They found that many times you really can't tell the difference in tastes be- tween the three carbonated drinks. A few students among those tested were David Patton, Kristi Lindeberg, Jeff Millar, Donna Goldston, Jill Row- land, Cheryl Shopshire and Mrs. Ho- dapp. Out of each of these people, David Patton was the only one who was able to pass the test on all three drinks. The psychology class at the time was in the process of studying their senses and how they relate to what they sense and perceive, Mrs. Ho- dapp feels, With such class activi- ties and student participation, each student remembers each concept better. Mr. Schultheis' class, like the other U.S. History classes, was composed mainly of hardworking juniors. 68 Social Science W 435
