nvestigating the institutions and relationships of Mag net society Social Sciences seek the answers How long has it been since you played dress-up? What makes you think and dream? Where ' s Tanzania? Who wrote the Federalist Papers? Who cares? The Social Sci¬ ences Department does care and holds the answer to all these questions. For some students the last time they played dress-up wasnt so long ago. These stu¬ dents were in the American Studies classes taught by Mrs. Webb and Mr. Pardue. Stu¬ dents were told about projects they would be required to do. They would choose from a va- riety of topics and then would present them to the class. On the day the topics were pre- sented, the students dressed up in clothing that represent- ed the time period. I like it; it gives a change from the ever- yday stuff said Jr. Kathryn Sale. What makes you think and dream? That ' s a good ques- tion, and Ms. Keith ' s Sociolo- gy Psychology students could give you the answer. The classes listened to nu- merous guest speakers, their topics ranging from prison systems to how to get along with your spouse. Tanzania is not a well known place but Mr. Trudeau could teli you where to find it. This year was not his first to teach geography, and it ' s true he does know where all those little out-of-the-way places are! ' ' The Federalist Papers wer- en t a popular subject this year, but this very unique de- partment could teli you the answers to all those ques¬ tions, anyway. LET ' S DO LUNCH.

est La! The Words Speak For Themselves An entire page or more of words spill out of a personi mouth as they sing. Language is given a universal tone through music because whole masses of people from differ¬ ent cultures can speak, listen, and understand the meaning of a foreign tongue. This year at Magnet has proven to be a full year in the language and music depart- ments. The French club went to Quebec for a fun filled trip to learn more about a lan¬ guage that holds so much meaning in the world. Also this year, the choir traveled to New York to perform at the Lincoln Center. Our music department ranges from choir to band and to jazz. Ali of these are lan- guages within themselves. Choir is the vocal concept of a language, be it your native language or a foreign tongue. Band and Jazz are the music department ' s concept for a personal understanding. These two areas allow us to gather the meaning individ- ually and to withdraw from it whatever we feel. The Language department at Magnet, though varied HOW S THE TOURIST SEASON GOING?

Magnet s choir sings a cheerful song for their (unseen) teacher Mrs. Britton. throughout each class, has one likeness: It allows each language to inform the stu- dents of the various meanings and cultures of the world. As each language is taught, they come together with a general understanding of human- kind. Though music and lan¬ guage vary from time and place, they both are uniquely similar. They connect words and feelings, both of which come together in these sub- jects. 70 • MAKING THE MARKS
