SOCIAL SCIENCE IN ACTION Top row, left: The typewriter symbolizes history term paper, typing class labs, economics re- ports-and college in general. Top row, right: Spectacles dangling under his chin, Prof, David Dykstra smiles his ap-- proval during an interview. Bottom row: Probably it was a history lecture that absorbed the attention of these students. Typewriters, Term Papers, Tests Vast volumes of history, economics, sociology, and philosophy emerged from library shelves as social science students began their year, and typewriters were re-ribboned in preparation for the annual term paper season. Education students under Miss Aller and Dean Weyer learned about procedure in their practice-teaching experiences in the Hastings schools. Children in the public library heard fairy tales every Saturday, told them by elementary education students. Maidens in 'maroon gym suits bagged home runs and smashed badminton birdies, in the spring they donned vari-hued dancing robes to present the annual spring festival. Trapeze artists and miracle matmen were discovered in men's physical education classes. Psychology students tested reflexesg philosophers learned about Spinozag religion students made notebooks and memorized biblical passagesg and sociology students studied slums. With England in the midst of World War II, Miss Knowles was in demand as a lecturer for various civic groupsg her classes studied history to correlate events of the past with those of the present. Supply and demand, shorthand books, and bookkeeping charts claimed interest of economics and business administration students. 27
