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

70 IT'S ALL GREEK T0 tudents in foreign language classes become acquaint- ed with the cultural as- pects of the country whose language is being studied. When they are not studying hard for a test or doing their daily verbs, Spanish and French classes take off and have some fun. This year Mrs. Dandur- and's Spanish class went to Ensenada, Mexico on Homecoming weekend. Mrs. Milburn's French class was busy making crepes and going to Sweet Treats. Foreign language classes require a lot of hard work and dedica- tion, but the benifits of learning another culture can also be a lot of fun.
