TRACING THE COURSE OF CIVILIZATION fHE SOCIAL STUDIES Department sought to expand the students' understanding of ancient and current events beyond textbook opinions and definitions. It was their aim to show the relationships and often disturbing similarities between ancient and current events. After a curriculum of World History, American History, Government, and a selected course in either Sociology or World Problems, the student had the basis for just such an educated appreciation. As 1964 was an election year, discussions of issues and candidates were commonly heard. Following a heated campaign a mock election wos held in which Hopkins students elected Lyndon Johnson President by a 3-1 ratio. The intriguing study of the Communist mind and system was once again offered to the senior Government classes. But for the first time this year a similar study wos made available to all interested adults in the Hopkins oreo. MR.

FINDING THE WHYS, LEARNING THE HOWS SCIENCE SEMINAR, the newest oddition to the science deportment, was offered to seniors with outstanding ability in chemistry. Those selected were permitted to investigate any field of science that interested them. The supervisor was not an instructor, but rather a helper to aid the students in individual exploration. Biology students studied the habitats of various animals as well os their intestinal tracts. They also studied various plants and animals from the unicellular amoeba to the multicellular being. Chemistry provided an opportunity for the students to experiment with chemicals and to investigate their reactions. Most of the students' work pertained to their research in the laboratory and interpreting the results. The physics students studied gravity, velocity and other subjects which were demonstrated by the fine equipment of the physics deportment. These courses provided the student with new and useful principles of science. MR. WEIDNER OBSERVES A CHEMICAL REACTION WITH MIXED EMOTIONS. MR. ARMSTRONG'S PRINCIPLE OF VELOCITY IS ILLUSTRATED BY CLYDE THOMPSON.
