It may have been 3:00 A. M., but droopy-eyed sociology students diligently typed the last lines of their 1,500-word masterpieces to make the Decem- ber 21 deadline. Such was a requirement of the two sociology classes this year-term papers written on some social problem. The obviously favorite topic was alcohol, as 17 students wrote of its disadvantages to the public. Given the chance to raise their grades by reading material outside of class, junior sociologists could often be seen browsing through an article concerning marriage problems or race relations to get those 75 pages of outside reading needed for an A. Supervising the mock election on November 5 and planning trips to national parks in complete detail were the civics students. They also participated in weekly discussions on current events and gained much information concerning the government. Besides searching for untruthful advertisements on the radio and learning to balance .1 budget, economic students also explored Engel's laws and Hlled out sample in- come tax forms. Wforld history students relived the explorations of Magellan While U. S. history pupils memorized the 48 states and capitals.

Frequent moans and groans can be heard coming from room 'J as bookkeeping students toil over those problems that iust won't check out. Typing students find no time to sneak in work on other lessons as they begin at the turtle pace of a-s-d-f-j-k-l-: and progress to the much desired and hard-to-achieve errorless 40-minute timed writings. Serving as a student stenographer to the principal for a week during their otiice practice course, the future secretaries encounter every orlice problem imaginable as they take dictation, transcribe, and operate the ditto machine. Library science students apply their knowledge to the book world as they catalogue the school's many books under the Dewey Decimal System, interpret the card catalogue, and find books for those I can't find it students.
