World History students found themselves involved in many informative discussions concerned with major world topics. Students in geography viewed many films; some re- viewed happenings of the past and others covered happenings of today. The evolu- tion and events of our country were studied by Alder’s American History students. Seniors in P.O.D. helped campaign during the election to lower the voting age to eighteen and conducted mock trials and legislatures. Several attended School Board meetings and Plain City Council meetings to become better informed about their community. JOYCE VAN FOSSEN, B.S. American History P.O.D.

INTENSIVE OFFICE EDUCATION SCIENCE Questioning minds delve into the scientific world of frogs, acids, and equations. Freshmen in Gen- eral Science attended the annual Soil Conservation field trip in London. In biology, students work on projects, to help them better understand living things around them. Assisting in Biology as a student teacher this year was Mr. Brunskill from Wittenberg Univer- sity. Chemistry students saw sci- entific laws illustrated by conduct- ing various lab experiments. Along with Archimedes; Newton; and Einstein, seniors in Physics ponder the mysteries of Physical Sciences. Senior I. O. E. girls rushed to Room 11 to see the new office equipment that had been promised to them. But, to everyone's dismay, none of the equipment had been delivered. As the weeks went by, disap- pointments became greater and greater as the girls waited. Finally on October 15, the new and shiny desks arrived and were soon followed by office chairs This new furniture together with the addition of the new Electronic Calculators have made Intensive Of- fice Education an authentic office experience. Connie Nicol operates one of the new Calculators. DOROTHY SAYRE, A.B. Business Education, Yearbook Advisor 25
