Course combines American cultures American Cultures, a fused course, replaced Black Studies and Mexican-American Studies as individual classes. Because a relatively small number of students had enrolled in the previous offerings, they were combined into a course designed to study all major minorities, such as Orientals and American Indians, as well as blacks and Mexican-Americans. Other social studies classes generally stayed as they had been. Government classes took their usual trips to the courthouse for a tour and a rundown of the different jobs and people it takes to run a county. And they were not the only ones taking field trips, Psychology students visited a psychological clinic where they heard a lecture by a resident psychologist. Besides taking field trips, social studies classes kept up with current events, following the Patty Hearst trial, 1976 primary elections and such closer-to-home happenings as the murder of first grader Randy Brown, the Duval County scandals and speeches by visiting atheist Madalyn Murray CTI-lair.

Little blue computer cards with holes punched out could be seen floating around Mr. Daniel's fourth period Computer Math class at the beginning of the second quarter. The school district leased an IBM Keypunch machine for Carroll and a similar model for King, to save time for the students when using the computers downtown. Computer saves time for studen ts No meetings of the Calculus Club were held, as usual, but the annual Christmas and spring parties were held, as usual. And, also as usual, the club had no members, but a full slate of officers, students who had nine quarters of college prep math courses. A new geometry and algebra teacher, Miss lean Willard, captured the attention of both her students and passers-by when she wore a pair of upside-down glasses frames for two weeks while her contacts were being repaired. Members of Mu Alpha Theta, the math honor society, traveled to Austin February 6-7 to attend a state convention at the newly built, ultra-modern Stephen F. Austin High School. Steve Genoway placed third in advanced math problems after four runoffs. The entire group put their heads together to win second place in the riddle contest and the much coveted plate of peanut brittle that went with it. Members also entered contests in geometry, advanced algebra, slide rule, numbers sense and the state math contest, a combination of all the categories. 90 - Academics Checking the master schedule against senior Cindy Startzell 's course code, Mrs. Mary Anne Gibson prepares to sign Cindy up for her second period geometry class. 3 ' JK: f Mi I In -. gag:-rs rifbrl' 'i I D K V may ' Ba
