Social Science Teaches Power of Government Talking with Rena Pugsley, on the measuring of senior caps and gowns is Vnaldra Hockenberry, social science. It is more important for each student to know and understand the government and laws of our society. It is equally important to understand the history of our state, nation, and the world to learn from our mistakes and build on our experience. These courses, which are necessary to form a well-rounded student, are in- structed by Mr. Vnaldra Hockenberry and Mr. Phil Hodson. Among some of the things Mr. Hockenberry's classes have done was the accomplishment of the first semes- ter's mock election. Students acted out roles as clerk and sheriffs as they ran the election. He also took the senior class to the Indiana General Assembly and had our representative of this area to speak with the seniors on the bills in the legislature. While in conservation class the students used some of their knowledge to build a variety of bird feeders. In history, Mr. Hodson tried to get more games into his teaching to make it more interesting for the some- times bored students. Two of the games are Consumer and Chips. 20 History Phil Hodson, history, is crowned King for the day. Cindy Daniels and lama Bruner find out that being a clerk can be interesting.

Language Studies-Mastery Gf Vocabulary Barbara Parsons, French and English, looks through her books for to- morrow's assignments. Foreign Language classes are a pan of the elective courses of study. The learning of French or Spanish should be an enjoyable task. The writing and speaking of a foreign language takes much study and hard work. Tapes are used to help familiarize students with the speech of the language. Student speeches help the stu'- dents feel at ease with the language in application. The library is a place filled with books-books of lan- guage. New books are added every year. New novels, nonfiction books, and encyclopedias help students with book reports and essays. The audio-visual section of the library is also a big help to the language courses. lan Fleet, Spanish, enters the hall after a hard day's work.

Phys. Ed. Allows Students to Exhibit Strength This year physical education classes not only partici- pated in yearly volleyball, softball, badmitton, football, folk and square dancing, and many others, but also in floor exercises and handball. The floor exercises consist of a combination of tumbling and dancing. These were introduced by Mrs. Tannda Mayer in the girls P.E. The handball was introduced by Mr. Osburn and to com- plete the game the school placed two temporary back- boards to make a handball court. The boy's P.E. classes had a lot of help from three student teachers all of which were from Ball State Uni- versity. They were Bill Mealy, john Vollmer, and Tom Pletcher. These younger teachers got more involved in the physical activity, which helped the students get more out of the class. P.E. is also activated during the summer months. This keeps the students in good physical condition the whole year through. Mr. Osburn will be having golf, softball, bowling, and swimming. And to add some- thing, there will be skeet-shooting at the' Daleville Gun Club. Every student who attends a P.E. class enjoys himself as well as keeping him in better physical condition. Giving instructions to one of her many classes is Tannda Mayer, Girl's P.E. Duane Osburn, boy's P.E., looks astonished as the girls beat the boys in a phys. ed activity.
