Business Utilizes Materials Increasing utilization of mate- rials available was the central goal of the business classes at Edison this year. Mrs. Sue Holder and Mrs. Margery Lindecamp felt that the greater a student's knowledge in the economics of life also greater were his chances of success in whatever his chosen field may be. There was a variety of business courses at Edison including typ- ing, shorthand, bookkeeping, business law, notehand, and general business. Although there were no new materials pur- chased, time was spent in increas- ing the depth and education to coincide with its increasing value in the business world. MRS.

Seniors Run P An event different from the usual classroom routine of American government was the elect- ion for representatives to the National Students Congress. This election was held to test the gullibility of the school to propaganda. There was an overwhelming 55'X1 of the students and faculty that voted for something that really never existed. This year's junior American history classes went to team teaching. lVlr. John Feyedelem, lVlr. Richard Taylor, and lVlr. William lVluthig had the entire Junior class meet twice a week for lectures and then divided them into sec- tions which met in each teacher's room for two seminars a week. This system was also used for government classes. Civics was taught by lVlr. Taylor and was a class available only for freshmen. It involved an introduction to the study of the government and how it is run. World history, taught by lVlr. Feyedelem is the study of ancient civilizations as well as those of the present time. Introduction to social studies involved the study of psychology, sociology, history and government all combined. It is also team taught by lVlr. Taylor, lVlr. Feyedelem, and lVlr. lVluthig. A major happening in psychology this year was an experiment that involved two girls, or two boys staying in one room 24 hours with- ropaganda Election out T.V., books, magazines, etc. This project was done outside class. Sociology and psy- chology were both taught by lVlr. Taylor. , ,,.. . f 7 4--315 4, L ' .. ,- HEJ THE Ei f BEST Jerry Drake, Bob Wilcox, and Pat Hall support Dan Hutchinson for the NSC.
