Learning Outside Of The Classroom Field trips were made last year by three different history classes. The first was made in November by Mr. Brock's sociology classes. They spent half a school day at Muscatatuck State Hospital. Muscatatuck was a learning experience that I will never forget. It made me realize how lucky I really am to be a normal person,” stated senior Mike Harlow. “The trip taught me that people should not be afraid of the patients. They are like little children and should be treated with respect as such.” commented Amy Seward. The second trip was made by Mr. Brock's Economics class in December. They spent a day touring local businesses such as Hilliard Lyons, Irwin Union, Cummins Engine and Dalton and Payne. “I think the whole class enjoyed the field trip and could relate to what was being said since we had been studying the running of businesses in our book. We got a hands on experience about the businesses and what is involved in starting and running one,” replied Tracy Harris. Mr. Brock judges the seniors tacky lies during sixth period Sociology. The contest started as a joke on Mr. Brock and has become an annual event for the seniors. Mr. Mike Brock hands a test back to Kelly Finke in Sociology class. Sociology is taken by all seniors first semester followed by Government second semester. “I liked Irwin Union the best. I learned that there was much more to banking than depositing money and then taking it out again. added Tracy. “I believe the field trips we took were more educational than being in the classroom and learning from a book because of the hands on experience that we gained. That experience won't be long forgotten, concluded economics student, junior Tim Dillingham. Lisa Ault begins to do her homework in Mr. McKinney's L.S. History class.

Mrs. Barbara Huff from Indiana Gas also spoke to the class. “She took some of the parts off of the stoves and told us about their uses. She also explained the advantages of having added accessories like a self-cleaning oven or child safety knobs,” said Lisa Ault. A third speaker, Mrs. Connie Bur-brink from Public Service talked to the class about energy conservation. “She showed a movie to the class and discussed different energy saying ideas that could be put to use around the house,” explained Mrs. Janice McMahan, teacher. “1 like to have speakers come to my classes. It gives students more ideas to think about and presents the material in a different way. It's an added interest to them,” concluded Mrs. McMahan.
