Government stressed the election '80 oo hat was the happiest moment in your life? What was the saddest? These are just two of the many ques- tions that lVlr. John Allen asked seniors in his Psychology classes. These questions were asked to begin classroom discussions which were a large part of Allen's approach to teach- ing. The students learned about them- selves, and they had a good time. The Social Studies Department of- fered a well-rounded curriculum. Eco- nomics, Government, U.S. History, World Civilization, Criminal Justice, In- diana History and Urban Affairs were offered to social studies majors. All stu- dents studied election processes this year. lVlr. Dwight Shaw aided English teachers who taught sophomores about government. Special material was devel- oped for class use in the election year, although there was no mock election. Visits to courtrooms, helping at elec- tions sites, touring with the History Club and listening to guest speakers were part of the department activities. Pre- paring the Freedom Foundation mate- rial is also part of the departmental re- sponsibility. Next year a course in international relations is scheduled to begin. The de- partment continually revises its curricu- lum to meet student needs. Photos Martin Powell Senior Karen lVlcCall listens intently during a gov- ernment class discussion.
