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.

IVIedia Center What was the name of that book? asks Gordon Moyer. Edison's library facilities have progressed even further this past school year to reach- ing their goal of being a true media center. Purchasing more tape players and casette tapes proved to be a wise move. Students and teachers' use of the tapes and players is steadily increasing, according to Mrs. Jacqueline Roscoe, head of the media cen- ter. Mrs. Roscoe mentioned the simplicity of handling these tapes in comparison to large, cumbersome record players of old. The tapes, apparently, are highly favored by Mrs. Roscoe in that they demand less storage space, a factor important to a grow- ing school with growing needs in the way of educational materials. Each June inventory is taken in the li- brary and orders are made to supplement the supply of books, tapes, and whatever materials seem necessary. Orders are made on the basis of the faculty's response to Mrs. Roscoe's inquiry to their needs and desires. Response to these inquiries on the part of the teachers is steadily improving, which pleases Mrs. Roscoe. She added, l do like to hear suggestions from the stu- dents . She further expressed a wish to see more independent reading on the part of the students, and is trying to expand the media center's facilities to encourage the student body to do just this. 186!Media Center Library Aides - Sandy Jenkins, Dotty Sholes, Sheree Stiles, Ann Frankboner, Melinda Booth, Lucy Valentine, Becky Crecelius, Lynn Pomeroy, Becky Rose, Sara Libby, Mrs. Jacqueline Roscoe, and Karen Buehrle.
