A personal evaluation of education ' s goals therefore necessarily involves one ' s personal view of what composes a meaningful life. A meaningful life is based on knowledge of self, knowledge of and ability to deal with reality, and relationships with other peo- ple that involve a sharing of self. The primary concern of education, then should be relationships, the relationship of the student to himself, to others and to reality. To establish a relationship with reality requires some knowledge of the world as it is and the ability to determine objective truth (in so far as truth may be determined). The skill of critical thinking is a necessity in accomplishing this, in dealing with one ' s world rather than simply being a victim of it. The educational process should give a student the tools he needs to determine reality and to deal with it. To establish a relationship with another person requires a sharing of one ' s self and an understanding of the other person. This in turn re- quires a faith that one has something to offer and that other people do. Somehow, the educational process should give that faith. Knowledge of self comes, I think, from a combination of the two above relationships — through thinking and the ability to deal with the reality that in this case, is one ' s self and through inter- change with other people that forces one to define one ' s self in order to share it. — Kit Ober Does 4 vUO £c Vi tfc j J� IOg£K • tt - Be, p C HfjU ) b- 1 £ )ll S i D • I s t _ . .

(fuU) OVW Some students are already speculating that the school year ' 70- ' 71 will be known as The Year of the Senior Class That Wasn ' t. A decrease of interest in the traditional school activities, in- cluding the S.C.A., its projects, and athletics, has caused a great deal of concern among many people. This phenomenon, however, does not represent The Demoralization of George Mason, but is in reality the first step in The Greening of George Mason. As described by Charles Reich in The Green- ing of America, many GM students are under- going a change of consciousness. They are be- coming more aware of themselves and more honest about their ambitions. Unfortunately in a public school many students have ambitions which are not academic and they, therefore, of- ten reject school activities. George Mason is probably one of the green- est schools in Northern Virginia. It should recognize this as an asset and strive to make education meet every individual ' s ambitions and needs. — Jeff Strait JVW out of ( J15 A 5 ?ajs€ of eivcqfitfA 6 still A kca arj f or $ Jr f c { but Iiv£ r e«c( of coitfroli; fhe 6A Wr A WA t ; wt joiaj have fo deal with ovr ouja Will am traud Treading the pathway maze of education must be the doing of the individual, assisted by those who have gone before as well as by those who are now. Education is an endless search for the meaning of life. It is a search, which at times may appear to be rewarded with answers to questions, however, the correct answers of today are frequently the incorrect answers of tomorrow. Education is of bits and pieces, yet it is a whole without bounds, and it is indeed a struggle of mankind against catastrophe. — Brad Bouillette n Odd 4- | t WT Uhi L ldL6lw t |, ' k -TuJ k idu) I ImA U fltW krtfrAl 30 iUtlllA M J UJmucdJ Lj {aa ' Ju yj SlL cL ' JjLWsnv(t XXXom Xa Xlj t Xt- xfiyusn jL j yv Amjl X r Jlcwlt o- ' l ruy JIaajl JLctfcfjL AyXj- syrCcku xto H jiJXx-soXXrr a XXZ JLujl Xt xju (yjl cyrm X .

People at George Mason say, “but I’m not really learning any- thing.” Maybe it’s because they never really tried. Apathy seems to be the disease of the day. It is coming on very strong around the country. George Mason seems to have been hit so hard the school should be closed for an epidemic. The disease seems to be so conta- gious that it seems to be spread- ing to the faculty. — Keith Thackerv Education often becomes an end in itself and or enter- tainment for those members of society with the least eco- nomic capacity and social sophistication. George Mason compels the student to live with a limited view of the world outside of Falls Church by leaving him little time or incentive for random experience. — Herman R. Menzer Jr. Education is a lifetime process — a very personal, individ- ualistic thing which provokes the current cry of “relevan- cy” or non-relevancy.” My belief is that one must keep his mind open to all currents and trends, maintain a very broad outlook and educational base — postponing speciali- zation as long as possible — while exploring as many fields of activity and learning as possible, experimenting with new ideas, and absorbing new concepts. With each indi- vidual availing himself fully of the offerings of his environ- ment and contributing proportionally thereafter. — Louise C. Costa One thing I like and think there could be more of is being able to know teachers as people and not just as someone who teaches you French or Social Studies or Math or something. When the teachers and student know each other better, they can better understand each other ' s point of view. When we stop looking at each other simply as students, teachers, parents, or School Board members, but as human beings who will listen and try to understand one another, then everyone will be a lot more satisfied with the school system. — Ed Falkowski mm a Students don’t value authority as much as their parents did. With our advanced communications and mass media, students today learn the cynical truths of life much sooner — there is a war in Vietnam — people do live among rats in the ghetto. Au- thority figures don’t always make the right decisions. Students don’t accept the explanation that something is right because “so-and-so says so.” Values are changing. Students who accept the traditional values of our society are not confused — they know what they want to do and where they want to go. But the students who do not accept the traditional values of our society are frequently confused. In many cases they have not identified substitute values or goals worth striving for. Individuals need a reason to get up in the morning. They need values and goals to give their life meaning. If material success is not important, what is? Meaningful relations with other humans? A sense of mastery over one’s environment? An openness to new experienc es? Several years ago the Mamas and Papas had a hit song with the theme, “Do what you want to do, go where you want to go.” This refrain haunts me. It seems to me that many students to- day don’t want to do what their parents did or go where society has been going. They want to do their own thing ... but what is their “own thing?” I’m not sure students today know. They are dissatisfied with their education, but do not know what they’d like to substitute. We are facing a crisis in values in our society. The traditional American values are undergoing change. For example, financial success and competitive striving have historically had a revered place in the American value system. The man who struggles and works hard will be rewarded with security and goods in the fu- ture. But f ' students today are not concerned about security. They know they won’t starve. On the other hand, why struggle and work for the future when the world is changing so fast that the future is unpredictable? — Nancy Sprague and we need to build a new feeling of personal interaction and respect. It is much harder to face an individual ■ ■ Sheila Jones o © If anything more is to change, it is we who will do it emph uations. we cation which did not develop tual responsiveness which is essential for its appreciation; if we live a selfish life it is also education which has neglected to teach one of the most es- sential points for co-operation, the ability to identify with the needs of others; and if we do not regard the individual as the most precious good of a demo- cratic society regardless of race, color, or creed, education has failed in one of its most basic aspects. — Linda Stenberg Integrity and excellence need to be redefined. Our allegiance to our inheri- tance is to understand where we have been and where not to go. No matter what has been learned before or what progress has been made by all of civilization, unless the in- dividual has a part in re- discovery of facts and theories and ideas, few of these will be important to him. People like to be skillful and like for any form of excellence they command to be important to others. For learning is an act of love. No one needs to teach the hu- man how to learn. Curiosity and the desire for excellence are natural to man, integral to his being. It is when the excitement of discovery is withheld that learning is dulled. The transition is the hardest, but once tasted, the promise of discovery will make struggle into an act of creation not for artists only, but for the ar- tist in every man. — Barbara Stuckey ' earn to tolerate and live with others different from ourselves while main- g one ' s sense of personal identity and committment is not an easy objec- ) - either student or teacher, but I know of no other logical aim for edu- al institutions that are attempting to train people for self-government in esentative democracy made up of many adversary interest groups, atricia Johnson A B JL.A TAKES M ( f iV c ° E _ udjju . uJc cxjym m iLdo jj QMij (dhjrZ , . ltd cL rcl l l J t Cl sl 7 j o a)ft (rtfJ’ljL Lm lUj jH«0j l tfXTH o YQOUyx Cl LqYC 7 ST j -C chi e iJ w Offt fwb- M Ct CiiAA LitefMrMMj CJ oj a uv ' v f]soyrJLC t ° cr ic ild iiayijn U) vrt fi rc A ii jMl “ frar j 7icfe a(u) x s flu i«i. wU 1 wW ■ ■ ' -m JuuUj- i t esti ‘” ' i 4 Oi Outof - eJrstarKe . inf i e jer atva oef 5-, jn ' � h i ' 5 M NO!

The second annual Carnival, again sponsored by the Student Council, faced two major set- backs. The first occurred when the Carnival Committee chairman moved out of the area leaving his successor the monumental task of organizing all the last minute details. The sec- ond was the weather. After four hours of Car- nival activity a seemingly minute rain shower turned into a steady down pour, and the Car- nival closed early. The amount of money taken in, indicated that Carnival 70 would have been much more successful than the previous year if it had run the entire day, without interruption. But only a few club ' s showed a real profit, with the early closing. Booths quantity remained the same as last year, although money-making project typ es were varied. In addition to catering to the younger set, booths selling books, arts and crafts, and international confections attracted the adult crowd. With a storeroom full of surplus prizes and definite plans for organization presently in the making, the third annual carnival seems prom- ising. Mr. Ellis puts in some overtime by lending a hand at the arts and crafts booth. Ends In Rain Dynamic D| Smitty Smith acquires an audience of patrons at the MUSTANG Request-o-matic booth.

The country music made us silly But those who clapped and sang were real. We did not divide up to dance, We came together. We held onto one another and wouldn ' t let go. I hugged someone I always wanted to hug But more importantly — I reached out to people I never wanted to touch But this time I meant it. We were altogether. The fog reflected the light of my mind, surrounded me, and made me very much an individual. It surrounded all of us and that made us so very much aware of our oneness though our ears were ringing and we were out of breath. We were smiling, sweating, kissing, hugging, feeling alive. If we never recover from it, It may very well be the best thing that has happened to George Mason. 20 Alycon Pierce Parlor Creates Interaction . . .

Although the price of admission to all school sponsored events was raised this year, those who saw The Diary of Anne Frank felt they were given more than their money ' s worth. Anne Frank was to date the most compli- cated production ever attempted. Memoriza- tion of lines was followed by hours of rehear- sal and blocking, while the actors merged themselves with their characters. The set, representative of the Frank ' s upper story an- nex, consisted of six small rooms: three bed- rooms, a living room, kitchen, and the W.C. . On November 21 and 22 the George Mason community came to know and empathize with the Franks, the Van Daans, and Dr. Dussel; the eight residents of the annex. The actor ' s por- trayals, almost invariable skilled, allowed the audience to enter into the shadow world of non-people — the Jews in hiding from the Na- zis.

The arrival of the Lord High Executioner draws the attention of Titipu citizens. Production of the Mikado was originally in- tended as an outgrowth of classroom experience. It was hoped that through involvement in a group effort students would gain knowledge of the diverse aspects of staging a musical produc- tion. The degree of student participation was somewhat disappointing and it soon became ob- vious that successful production would be some- what more difficult than was originally expected. The Mikado is typical Gilbert and Sullivan; constructed of catchy melodies and an equally clever libretto. Set in )apan in the late 1800 ' s, the operetta satirizes British social customs of the time. The version presented by the junior High was an abridged one, further adapted to meet the needs of GM students. Cast and crew worked for several weeks, dur- ing which time tempers grew shorter as rehearsals grew progressively longer. Despite a lack of time and experience musical segments of the produc- tion were well done, and several promising dra- matic performances were turned in. Sets were fairly simple in contrast to more elaborate cos- tuming and make up. Upon completion of the production, those involved had the satisfaction of having participated in an enjoyable and profitable music venture, which was, after all, what Gilbert and Sullivan intended.

The Free School Pro gram, a variation of last year ' s EFFE program, offered courses of EFFE ' s variety but for a duration of two weeks, at- tended by students during their free time. The first attempt to arrange courses failed due to lack of student interest. But, after a successful second registration, participation was great enough to warrant continuing the program, changing the courses every two weeks. In an effort to take a look at George Mason as a community of people and its evolution (past and future) a retreat was held at Robin Brickman ' s house to provide a chance for stu- dents, faculty, and administration to talk to- gether for a day. Topics ranged from what the school ' s characteristics are and their demands on students to student-teacher relationships and school environment. Throughout the day, the need for using the potential for self direction present at GM was stressed. Almost all of the one hundred participating, left with a community feeling of excitement and hope. The form is casual but hard thinking is being generated. 28 Voluntary Student Participation Students contemplate the challenges of newly found self-direction. Students signing up for Free School courses had a variety to choose from, ranging from an Arena Stage field trip to discussions on hitch-hiking. A warm and close community spirit shows through the smiles of retreat participants. 29 Spirit Drops A contestant at the Monogram Club ' s carnival attraction tries to sink it three times, for a stuffed animal. Due to the combined effects of the creation of a girl ' s varsity softball and basketball team and the Women ' s Liberation Movement, the Monogram Club admitted girls for the first time in their history. The initiation process was completed earlier than is customary. Perhaps it was the addition of the female spirit that resulted in successful and efficient completion of projects. The Monogram Club scored financially on its Basketball Shoot booth in George Mason ' s Second Annual Car- nival, and provided needed services, such as ushering at the Annual Junior Variety Show. May marked the end of winter — spring sports and the Monogram Club, in conjunction with the Pep Club, organized the Spring Sports Banquet at which individual athletes were honored. Monogram Club.

The Pep Club seemed to characterize the dwindling school spirit this year. Membership dropped greatly in contrast to past years. Club members did, however, work hard to invoke spirit in the teams and student body. The Club worked on both Fall and Spring Sports Banquets, at which the athletes were honored for their success in the various sports. Having organized Spirit Week activities, Pep Clubers sponsored the spirit chain, dummy contest, and “sneaky sneakers day designed to heighten spirit and enthusiasm in anticipa- tion of the upcoming Homecoming weekend.

An historic precedent, the rule change allowed sopho- more girls the opportunity to join the Varsity squad. Even with this liberated requirement, there were only six Varsity Cheerleaders, because of a new league rule. Those six comprised a hard working innovative team. Their creativity was reflected in the composition of many new cheers and revision of the old ones. Becoming part-time saleswomen, the girls sold calendars, ribbons, and buttons in school along with programs at the games. The acquis- tion of funds for new cotton uniforms kept the capitalist spirit alive in the Cheerleading Club. Cheerleading Managers. Dora Philpot, lunior Varsity; Kim Walker, Varsity; Miss Bracken.

Competing in the new Northwestern Dis- trict, George Mason utilized an unwillingness to give up in providing an exciting, if not vic- torious, season. Following opening losses to Culpeper and Spotslyvania, the Mustangs scored their first victory against previously unbeaten Broad Run, 42-16. After disappointing losses to Charles- town, 14-6; Clarke County, 20-14; Loudoun Valley, 26-19; and a muddy game with Lou- doun County, 7-6; the Mustangs moved into their final game against Warren County. The team showed its team potential as the red- men” romped to a 42-26 victory. Lack of experience, depth, and individual size seemed to be at the root of the team ' s problems. Because of the large number of players, though, 16 lettermen will return. Coach lohnny Duff Gambill sees better things to come.

Following losses to Taylor Jr. High and Brentsville, Coach Tom Carey decided that something had to go. It turned out to be the j ' offense and the Lonesome Polecat took its place. This formation consisted of the quarter- back standing eight years behind the center in the middle of the field; the remaining line on one hash mark and the three backs on the Other. This unorthodox style startled their opponents into confusion. With the passing of fCharlie Boaz, the Mustangs came close on sev- eral occasions but failed to win the first )V .ontest in four years.

Their hopes, though, were diminished late in the season with a 2-1 defeat by the W-L Generals. Explosive scoring by Danko Benic and Zeyad Sarsour provided large leads early in the sea- son. But as the season progressed the games became more defensive in nature as the CM defense improved and the high scoring offense was slowed. Danko Benic was named Most Outstand- ing , while Zeyad Sarsour received the Most Spirited awards. Next year ' s team can look for a strong season with eight returning lettermen, and able members of the )V ranks filling senior positions. Newcomer, Mr. Arthur Ellis trained the Ju- nior Varsity team this year. Team membership far surpassed previous years. Their season was highlighted with victories over O ' Connell and Friends.

Team members are Ed Collins, Doug Hammond, Paul Karnis, Ronnie Lodico, Billy McGlynn, Anthony Polk, Ray Schmidt, Terry Skelly, Bill Stroud, Mike West, and Coach Alan Kreuger. The Varsity Cross Country team suffered a dismal season. Competing with other Fall GM sports to recruit team members and having many members “doubling up with other sports, caused the team to suffer accordingly. The highlight of the season was the final meet against Loudoun County. The team rallied to a victory through the sup- port of the cheerleaders and fans. The race was won for the Mustang harriers by Bill Stroud. Co-captains Ed Collins, and Paul Karnis were rewarded “Most Outstanding and “Most Spirited players, respectively. The outlook for the Cross Country team is dim, as there is only one return- ing letterman.

Although a season of scheduled games was not possible, the girls scrimmaged numerous area high schools. The team wa s plagued by inexperience, infrequent practices, and lack of practice areas. They were coached by physical education teachers Miss Martha Bracken, Mrs. Pat Bird, and Mrs. Mabel Bradd. Led by Captains Debbie McClellan and Nancy Kain, the Mustangs won their only game over Oakton High School. With the loss of only two Seniors, next year ' s team should prove to be a good one.

The Mustangs bounced back, though, winning their first three district games. The comeback was spurred by the combined scoring efforts of co-captains Wendell Byrd and Larry Clendenin. Byrd, led the team in both scoring and re- bounding, and was awarded Most Outstand- ing . Clendenin finished second in over-all scoring, while Dale Walton finished second in rebounding. The Mustangs were in a position to win the district title after a 55-54 victory over league- leader Loudoun Valley. A loss to Warren County in the following game diminished title hopes. Team efforts combined with coaching, produced two victories at the end of regular season play. The Mustangs were elimi- nated from the district tournament in an over-time thriller to Loudoun County. Next Year ' s team will apparently have to rely on speed rather than height to come up with a consistent winner.

The problem facing the Student Council was student apathy, not a lack of ideas or a lack of organization. As was characteristic of the Stu- dent Handbook, Carnival, Homecoming Dance, Student Square and the Free School Program, students were willing to enjoy and participate in the final product but were not willing to help in the tedious organization process. Students would use the privileges of unsupervised study but not help to make them work. Those students who did care were either elected to official positions or persuaded to chair or serve in committees. Only a small handfull came forward of their own free will. Even so, many Student Council projects were interesting and even fun for those who participated in them. The Student Handbook was compiled during the summer months and given free of charge to all students. A School Store was established for the first time in many years and proved to be profitable. The Admin- istration ' s proposal for open campus privileges was discussed by the S.C.A. and openly sup- ported before the School Board, which, nev- ertheless, defeated this proposal.

Various members read their own selections of poetry, designed to communicate the concepts of leadership, scholarship, service, and character. The idea for this format was conceived with the intention of providing an interesting and meaningful program for the student assembly. The Society ' s two main projects were of year-long duration. Members sent letters of congratulations to students whose quarter grades averaged 3.25 and above, qualifying them for the honor roll. The National Honor Society also set up a tutorial system under which its members volunteered to help other students who were having difficulty in aca- demic subjects. New National Honor Society inductees are congratulated by Mr. Brouillette. Cadence Club Caters City Needs A relatively young organization, this year ' s Cadence Club presented enthusiasm and ideas often felt to be characteristic of youth. The organization sponsored two campaigns — the first was designed to discourage smoking, and the latter aimed at affecting and improving bad driving habits. Members volunteered to answer calls coming in on the Hot Line, a telephone service set up by the Knights of Columbus for poeple with questions about or problems with drugs in Falls Church. At Christmas, the club members utilized their sewing skills in making hand puppets, and gave them to the Children ' s Hospital. Assisting the Youth Advisory Council in a bake sale, the Cadence Club illustrated that its ' motto of service was not only involved with George Mason and its ' students. Cadence Club.

The Fall activities of the Future Teachers of America kept its members close to home and the kitchen, as club members served refresh- ments to parents and faculty members attend- ing the monthly PTA meetings. The speakers at weekly FTA meetings ad- dressed the members on the responsibilities and changing techniques of teaching, along with describing the possible future for those who chose to pursue a career in teaching. Winter and spring drew members out into the world. A field trip to Harrisonburg, Virginia enabled club members to visit Madison Col- lege. Student teaching at the three Falls Church elementary schools proved to be invalu- able experience, as FTA members were given the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and get acquainted with the teaching atmo- sphere.

The musical cakewalk was once again spon- sored by the club in the Fall Carnival. During Thanksgiving, the FNA gave a dinner for a needy family and, at Christmastime, threw a party which was open to all students. Club members made a field trip to Charlottesville where they visited the University of Virginia School of Nursing. In addition, to their various other activities, members donated their spare time and effort to work for the American Red Cross in local hospitals and clinics.

Keyettes gave their feet a well deserved rest and felt justly proud after their successful “Walk for the American Indian . This major money making project for the George Mason District consisted of members recruiting con- tributions for each mile they walked, earning them over $300. Their annual budget was established through profits made from the popular Teacher Dunk, Candle, and Snow Cone booths at the Carni- val. Using these funds, the Keyettes gave a Halloween and Valentine party for the Chil- dren at the McLean Day Care Center. In addition, the Keyettes collected money for UNICEF, ALSAC and the March of Dimes, kept our flag flying properly every day, and served as usherettes at dramatic, musical, and variety programs. President Carol Gray surveys fellow Keyettes at a typical Friday afternoon meeting. 68 Community Service Efforts Colonel Campbell, Kiwanis representative, and Milton Hunter answer questions at a weekly Key Club meeting. Organizational problems, amounting to two presidential changes and decreased member- ship, forced the Key Club to operate on a smaller scale. Key Clubbers volunteered for individual service projects such as being gate watchers at home football games, or working for the basketball team. After the loss incurred by the Car Smash at the Carnival, efforts to re-finance the club were concentrated on selling tickets to a con- cert featuring the Association. As an entire unit the Key Club worked to raise money for the AFS and collected donations for the March of Dimes. Inspired by the idea behind the Key Club-Faculty basketball game, Key Clubbers discussed the possibility of a Key Club Invita- tional Basketball Tournament. This project, however, was never completed but it is hoped that this can be accomplished next year with other area Key Clubs. Key Club.

Like other school publications this year, the Mustang was hurt by lack of staff experience. But by the time the deadlines rolled around, the staffers had gotten the hang of the essen- tials and the book began to take form. Prob- lems with organization and photography tech- niques in the dark room resulted in a complete mid-year change over in the photography staff. Mustang 71 reflects the attempt to incorpo- rate more student talent, and give students and faculty members the opportunity to express their feelings about education. The goal was to create a yearbook which contained more per- sonal expression of school life rather than a yearbook which merely met journalistic stan- dards. With many staff members returning next year, Mustang 72 should develop more smoothly and, hopefully, it will have the crea- tive goals of this year ' s Mustang. 70 Student Expression Is Goal MUSTANG Staff.

A senior high visitor to George Mason dur- ing the first nine weeks of the school year would find our English program little, if any at all, different from English programs in other senior high schools. Composition is stressed and in some first quarter classes this year, this art was developed by writing term papers. When the second quarter began in Novem- ber, senior high English classes took a variety of directions. Thematic courses on two levels, grades 9-10 and 11-12, were offered so that placement was based on the individual stu- dent ' s preference rather than arbitrary guid- ance scheduling. Students were asked to indi- cate courses they felt to be interesting on a survey list of course possibilities, as well as make suggestions for courses they would like to see offered. While courses studying literature of various socio-economic groups, the nature of Man and cinema increased in popularity and dimension. Courses also appeared which were immediate- ly relevant to the students - the study of lin- guistics and preparation for College Board Examinations. 76 GEORGE MILTON DAVIS Department Chairman, B.

Following last year ' s example of early organi- zation, the TEMPO began working over the summer to produce a fall issue of the literary magazine. Selection of literary and art material for this issue had been chosen by the begin- ning of the school year, but problems plagued the typing process of the material on the com- poser, and Fall became Winter before the TEMPO was completed. I he Creative Writing class embodied the major thrust of the writing staff, although material from authors in other English classes was encouraged and considered. Members of this class who were also art students formed a vital liaison to the art department which pro- vided the artwork which made this year ' s TEMPO a creative production in every area. DORIS G.

Front pages usually held artis- tic material, consistent with the season or mood of the LASSO. Articles were arranged by subject as section pages were set up. Another “first ' the Junior FHigh finally had a page of its own on which it could publicize its activities or other propaganda. The associate editor system was again used, with each associate editor “presiding over each semester. A new journalism teacher helped the reporters perfect their writing skills and improve their abilities. The LASSO staff acquired the old band office to be used exclu- sively for LASSO work. The LASSO suffered many setbacks at the beginning of the year which haunted its year-long production. The one and only sub- scription list was lost and there was a contin- ual composer overload. Reviewers of books, rock concerts and community center dances came together in the LASSO Gallery. Opinions were voiced on the Comment Page, in response to national, community and school issues. This year ' s LASSO lost it ' s publicity-sheet image, trading for the image of a news magazine for the in- formed student. 79 Linguistics In Poetry Taught Jeff Burn ' s rendition of Alice ' s Restaurant reflects his knowledge of poetic feelings. Students watching a classmates project presentation wonder, Who ' s the guy on Camera One? An example of the thematic English courses offered on a quarterly basis was Mr. Menzer ' s Language of Poetry course which involved the linguistic examination of poetic language. The course emphasized that sound and meaning are by no means exclusive and mutually change throughout history and from perfor- mance to performance. Mr. Menzer required each student to choose a selection of poetry in any form and present it to the class at any location and with whatever effects or props the student felt to be helpful in revealing the meaning of the poetry. As a result, folk songs were performed in an empty stairwell, contemporary poetry was given oral rendition in a vacant hallway and a few pre- sentations which did not require special set- tings were videotaped for replay, so that the class could offer instructive replay criticism and commendation. George Simpson gives the background to the song he is about to perform. Pollution Talks In Spring Although the Debate Team did not become officially argumentative until April, the Debate Club was not idle for the first three quarters of the school year. Weak in number but collec- tively powerful in voice, the Debaters tackled the topic of Environmental Pollution in league competition. i I [ The club had to spend much time, not only researching the topic, but formulating a per- suasive argument to support a plan and, on the other hand, perfecting the art of destroying the logic behind a proposed plan. The team proved itself strong in both positive and nega- tive approaches. 1 Drawing more attention than in years past, the Debate Club attracted what it hoped to be potential Debaters to the meets. Judging from the reception of this year ' s club, next year ' s Debate Club should have quite a few mem- bers from which to draw members for the Debate Team. MICHAEL J.

Serving as the “official Drama Club, the In- ternational Thespian Society organized the year ' s dramatic activities. It is an honorary so- ciety whose members have gathered the 20 points necessary for membership by participat- ing in any and all aspects of dramatic produc- tions. The Diary of Anne Frank, presented to the school and community in November, provided the impetus for a one-act play entered in the Regional Drama Festival and a three act play in the spring. Aside from productions, the Thespians jour- neyed to Charlottesville, Virginia, to take part in a workshop designed to organize State troupes. Inductions were held at mid-year, as well as at the annual banquet. MARILYN S. ABBEY B.A., De Pauw University; M.A., Wayne State University. English. Dra matics Sponsor.

This Seventh and Eighth grade magazine published artistic and literary works from stu- dents at these grade levels. Students submitted their efforts to Mrs. Butterfield, DIMENSION sponsor, who handed them over to the DIMENSION staff. The staff members read and evaluated the material, se- lected the best contributions, and published them in the Spring issue of DIMENSION. Literary works appeared in various genre: poetry, fiction, paragraphs, personal impres- sions, and anecdotes. Diverse types of illustrations were a direct result of the new Art 7-8 course.

Soccer Coach Having completed a very successful first year, the Social Studies Department continued its revised curriculum this year. Changes made for this year ' s program included the addition of such courses as Comparative Government, Constitutional History, and European History since 1870. The combined effects of discussion with professional guest speakers and observation of actual political processes and involvement in detailed simulations help the student develop analytical abilities which are important to him as he approaches adulthood, helping him to perceive the world he lives in and his role in it. The Free School program offered two-week Courses to students who were “willing” to give up their study halls. One of the goals of this program was to set up courses in conjunc- tion with the social studies curriculum, encour- aging the student to take the initiative to en- rich his knowledge of the subject.

The lab was open all day and, while under teacher supervi- sion, students acted as instructors, by explain- ing to confused math students mathematical concepts. The student-instructors were gener- ally senior high students who contributed their time, whenever possible, to help other stu- dents. The competitive season for the Math Team began in November and the team calculated through winter until March. The team assumed a high position in the six-school standings early in the season. Of the five seats on the team, the Senior- machine usually held three while juniors al- ternately took the remaining two. Under the direction of Mrs. Withers (. . .) the Math Whiz Kids developed accuracy and speed, both of which are essential in a math meet. CASEY WITHERS Department Head.

The Science and Math Departments joined forces this year — Advanced Placement Physics was offered on an alternating schedule with Advanced Placement Calculus, giving the Se- niors a chance to prove that Rube Goldberg Henry ' s mousetrap did, in fact, work. A Science Lab was available first and last periods of the day for those dedicated, self-disciplined science students who wanted to develop their lab techniques or research their own projects, under the supervision of Mrs. Rooney. For those who were able to brave the De- cember gale across the parking lot, the Virginia Electric Power Company Van, procured by this department, offered the history of VEPCO, the services it provides for its customers and those services it will eventually provide as various illustrated projects are developed and com- pleted. lunior chemistry students try and cram in the weekends homework into the last five minutes of class. 94 Course Taught To Seniors Creating a lot of commotion (and a few sup- pressed giggles), the Senior Science Club in- vited interested students to attend an early fal l meeting in which the club was going to attach a lie detector to a plant. The actual purpose was to test plant conductivity, and the results were obtained. The Club performed many experiments at their meetings, one of the more dramatic ones being optical experimentation with Mr. Hen- ry ' s laser. The Senior Science Club made its only field trip to Virginia Polytechnical Institute in Blacksburg, Virginia, in March, to attend the Virginia junior Academy of the Sciences Con- vention. Paul Gregory, a junior, presented a report at the convention. VIOLET CLARK B.A.. George Washington University. Biology Senior Science Club. Freshman Class Sponsor. Senior Science Club.

The Spanish Honor Society and the Spanish Club became even more co-functionary this year to further develop appreciation of the language and Latin American cultures. The Spanish Honor Society invited the Spanish Club to have joint meetings with the Honor Society Officers presiding. Their 1969 Carnival taco booth having been very successful (to the point of running out of taco meat), the Spanish students prepared three times as much as before for this year ' s Carnival. Unfortunately, the rain at Carnival 70 forced the crowds to run for cover, or home, rather than for a taco. The tradition pinata party at Christmas, in- ternational dinners, and a trip to see a Span- ish movie rounded out the cultural activities. Always welcome and popping in to visit, GM alumni who are continuing their study of Spanish are proving to be interesting speakers. Spanish Honor Society.

This year ' s German Club took a more introspective approach in planning its activities than in years past, under the sponsor- ship of a new German teacher. Each activity was planned so as to increase the club mem- bers ' understanding of the everyday life of the German people. A German pastry booth at Carnival ' 70 was successful in supplying the club with needed funds, and international necessity not peculiar to Germany. As the season to be jolly approached, the club decorated a German Christmas tree. They celebrated the onset of Lent with a Fasching- ball and honored the arrival of Spring with a bicycle trip German-style. DORIS J. JACKSON B.A., Howard University. French.

Freshman Class Sponsor. Independent Study Demands Betty Eckert and Lindy El I i = plan their project togetner. All art courses were new this year, on both the junior high and senior high levels. Art 7-8 introduced the junior high students to the techniques and rules of art, as well as allowing them to experiment with materials and me- dia. Senior high semester and full-year courses covered such areas as art history, sculpture, painting, and weaving. An advanced full-year course. Studio Art, required teacher recommendation. Theapproved art student outlined his own course of study, including his objectives and goals, and the means by which his goals would be reached, He was able to change his course quarterly, choosing any media and period of time, or study one facet of art in depth for the entire year. In this new program there is no danger of boring repetition year after year. The student is given more choice and an opportunity to design his own program of study. 102 Self D iscipline Members of the drawing and painting class finish their latest in- spiration. LINDA C.

Var- ious exciting courses were offered on a quar- terly basis: Interior Decorating, Teen Foods, Gourmet Cooking, Home Economics III, and Modern Management for Men, in which the junior high boys learned sewing skills and cooking essentials. The Future Homemakers of America found that early organization pays off, making a good profit from the Gift Shop, Sweet Shop, and Clyde the Computer booths at the carnival. The active club, comprised of juniors and Soph- omores exclusively, planned its activity pro- gram on the basic theme of Stable Home — Stable Life, pursuing the goal of developing qualities which are necessary for successful liv- ing in the home, school, and community envir- onments. In this light, they planned a project on pollution, a slumber party, a family picnic, various speakers and guests, a f aculty Christ- mas tea, and a tour of model homes in Reston.

Advanced courses were set up in every area — Stenography II, Clerk-Typist II, and Data Processing II — providing opportunities for the student to develop his or her proficiency, that one qualification that guarantees good full or part-time employment. The Business Club got off to a slow start because of faulty organization. But after an- I other election in December, the club met on a regular schedule. They invited speakers from i area business schools so that the club could | : evaluate the programs that are available to high school graduates. Janet Barbee adds it all up.

Working in conjunction with the Student Council, the class prevented a fungus from destroying the benches on the Student Square, in addition to improving its overall appearance. A second new course.

Halftime at the GM football games had definitely changed, to the tune of the Drill Team, Flag Team and Banner Girls, the latter two groups being new this year. Performing with the Drill Team and Majorettes, the flag-wielding and waving Flag Team offered another diversion for spectators who would have otherwise run off for a coke. The Banner girls were lucky enough to have had their uni- forms made for them by Sandi Van Slyke, a member of the graduating class. The Band picked up its tempo and im proved the quality of its sound under the direction of Mr. Frank Barr. The members of the Band worked hard to produce the sound of a co-ordinated unit, whether marching on the field or accompanying from the Pit. The All Regional Band Festival was held at George Mason in late January. Area senior high bands participated under the direction of a conductor from Cincinnati.

The Choir was not as active as in previous years, partially due to the fact there were a minimal number of ground-breaking ceremon- ies, dedications and reunions. The group did perform at City Hall during Citizenship Week and presented a Pops Concert in September. The Christmas program was held for the community and the student body on sep- arate dates. Tryouts for the musical, held in January, were open to the entire school. The Modern Music Masters, more popularly known as the Tri-M, increased its membership, though, with two auditioning periods.

The Physical Education Department exhib- ited some new faces this year with the acquisi- tion of two new instructors, Miss Martha Brackern, and Mr. Tom Carey. Along with the addition of personnel, an addition of courses into its curriculum also took place. An ad- vanced Physical Ed class was offered to boys and girls in the 11th and 12th grades. The Driv- ers Education program was expanded so that Behind-the-Wheel training was available throughout the school year and summer. But before they were eligible for Behind-the- Wheel, students had to watch assorted horror movies, learn the insurance system and study other statistics and phenomenon vital to potential drivers. The improvement and expansion of the program was a ramification of the passage of a law, which took effect last July, making it necessary for Driver Liscense applicants to complete successfully both the Classroom and Behind-the-Wheel driver training classes.
