SOCIAL S TUDIES Teachers Added The Social Studies department continued with its usual repitory of classes, guest speakers, lectures and projects. In addition to the existing classes, a variety of history classes were added including a much-needed college preparatory program. Both sociology and psychology continued to draw large numbers of students, as interest in these areas seems to increase yearly. A mock election was held by the department, and participation was high among students. One interesting result was the mock election of candidate for city mayor, Bryan Phillips. Unfortunately, Phillips lost by a wide margin in the actual contest. The department adjusted to changeovers in the staff as C. J. McCloud and Steve Putman both left and Cecil Dillard and Linda Ellingson came in as replacements. Mr. Dillard transferred from Academy Junior High where he taught P.E. and Mrs. Eliingson was a first year teacher. 1: Playfully dodging the camera during M.A.P. is Junior Von Elwood. 2: Mr. Dennis Newton. 3: Mr. Steve Betschart. 4: Mr. Cecil Dillard. 5: Mrs. Linda Ellingson. 6: Mr. LeRoy Gilbert. 7: Mr. Frank Kettleson. 12 Social Studies

MATH Enrollment Up Enrollment is up in all levels of math, commented Mr. Barry Jahn, math teacher. We have kids staying in our classes for a full year, which is rare in our program, he added. “One of our major goals is to make math an enjoyable learning experience, and I believe we've reached it in our lower level classes, he concluded. Mr. Bob Kenyon and Mr. Paul Olliff (in charge of advanced math) were quoted as saying, “One of our major goals is to have the students really get their noses to the grind stone, and learn this material, and get a good algebra background as part of a more complete educational background.” Math again relied on extensive use of charts, graphs, projections, models and teacher demonstration in attempting to break down the communication barriers and focus on practicality. 1: Burt Graber solves an equation with two unknowns In Algebra II. 2: Mike Haas works eagerly with Mr. Barry Jahn, teacher. 3: Mr. Paul Ollift. 4: Mr. Bob Kenyon. 5: Mr. Barry Jahn. 14 Math
