faces New faces a fresh start The new students, the maturing personalities and the same old wise guys are the ones responsible for each year's new and fresh start. Each has individual goals and favorite pastimes, but together they are a unit. This is true whether they are the junior class, D-lunch students, HERO mem- bers or class officers. When they're not part of a group, they pursue skate- boarding, twirling, motorcross, modeling, book writing or ice skating. For the less ingenious, evenings and weekends were spent cruising, parking, movie-going and eating. Monday morning hangovers and weekend blues were the causes of many trips to the nurse. But by Tuesday, the cheerleaders were cheering, the choir was singing and the band was able to play again with- out giving anyone a splitting headache. The same old iokers told jokes, the popular people acted popular and the unknown dreamed of discovery. What each didn't realize was that it took all to make up a group as intelligent, dumb, humorous and shy as MacArthur's 1978 students. Without such a fresh group the year would have cer- tainly died off after the 1st old joke was told. Instead, each personality contributed a little to the entire body of spirited, enthusiastic young people who made the year a success. Want some?

Its ability to reason and to think, along with its size and capacity for learning, set man apart from all other mam- mals. However, as any psychology student can tell you, the mind can be trained. The mice and the mazes are used in psychology to study learned behavior in humans. You get to see how the mind learns through trial and error, explained junior Sheila Barber, who has taken both Psychology l and ll. The object is to teach the mouse to go through the maze correctly. When he does, then you know that he has learned how to do it. Sociology teachers took a different approach to the human mind. ln my opinion, the human mind is like a computer that is programmed by its environment, stated sociology student Marion Ewton. Sociology taught me that each person is different. . . and that you need to relate to people on an individual basis, explained Caroline Khalaf. In addition to The individual, sociology emphasized the study of cultures. People think that whatever is going on in America is going on all over the world . . . they're shocked when they learn cultures are different, said Caroline. Whatever differences may exist in individuals and cul- tures, people are humans, teaching that to psychology and sociology students is half the battle. the human mind l01
