History Repeats Itself in Central Classes Gazing at a reproduction of the Parthenon in Greece, learning how the Indians were driven off their land, or discussing the morality of the war in Viet Nam all aided social studies students in gaining the proper perspective of history. Western Civilization classes studied the ancient cultures that serve as a basis for the theologies practiced today. U. S. History taught Centralites the growth of their own country and helped them to understand the reasons for many of today’s prob- lems. These problems were analyzed and solutions sought in the Foreign Relations classes. Inde- pendent Study helped the students to accept re- sponsibility and was a great factor in preparing a student for college. Top: Explaining to his class the difficulties that America faced which resulted in the Civil War is Charles Maynard, social studies teacher.

Mixing different and strange chemicals and oc- casionally burning holes in the tables added to the fun found in Chemistry. Throwing slinkies down the hall to measure reaction time in Physics seemed like a second childhood to pupils. Other science courses including Conservation and Physiology helped students to better understand the mind and the world around them. The Science department received three new teachers this year; Douglas Sharp, Gary McDaniel, and James Lamson. All teach biology.
