■•• X Blah! Mind Blah! Matters Psychology was just one of the academic classes offered at the school, and it was considered an elective. The majority of students who par- ticipated in psychology were juniors and seniors. Altnough psychology sounded like an extremely difficult and highly ad- vanced science class, many found out differently. Students such as Senior Heidi Cooper enjoyed psychology due to its effects on each individual person. During the first semester, Mr. Bateman concentrated on the basics of child behavior and its treatment. He also spent time on raising children. During the second semester, Mr. Bateman focused on the student as a person, his behavioral conflicts and outlooks on life. All of this involve- ment between teacher and student seemed to build a tactful relationship. This class gave students the chance to analyze themselves and to acknowledge where self improvement should be taken into hand. After completing psychology, students were then eligible to take Peer Counseling which gave first hand ex- perience in dealing with elementary children. by Katie Knight Juniors Susanna Bean, Margie Cornick, and Tiffany Hoffman, review for tomorrow ' s cfiapter exam for psychology.

We, the People what was Boys ' State, and for that matter, what was Girls ' State? Every year, sometime bet- ween late March and early May, State officials contacted the school ' s guidance office to begin the nomination process. Lists of all junior boys and girls were sent to teachers to chose who should go to State. Usually seven girls and eight boys were chosen. During their stay at State, held at Clear Creek, students found out first hand how state govern- ment runs. Field trips were taken to the Governor ' s man- sion, the Capitol, and the Legislature building for tours by State officials. While students stayed at Clear Creek, thev were split into cabins which represented make-believe cities. Most often the students were placed with others from around the state to get to know one another and experience working with strangers. The cities elected city officials and made up actual bills to be presented to the actual state legislature. One of the bills the girls ' delegation submitted was a bill proposing teachers take a minimum competency test, specializing in their area of teaching.
