Business Ed takes all types The Business Education Department develops skills and knowledge necessary for qualifying a student for employment in business fields, or aiding him in personal and social responsibilities. Approximately half of the students at Juneau- Douglas High School are enrolled in business education courses. This large number of stu- dents indicates a realization that some skills and knowledge in business practices are neces- sary for successful personal and vocational pursuits.

All our past acclaims our future. Algernon Swinburne Dwight Dean Selective Social Studies, Rifle Club Advisor Paul Sincic Selective Social Studies, Junior Class Advisor Brad Snodgrass Tony Reiger Selective Social Studies Selective Social Studies Wildlife Club Advisor Wildlife Club, Junior Class Advisor This year the social studies de- partment continued the quarter system which it established last year. The department is divided into four major areas: world his- tory, U. S. history, government, and the humanities. Under this program the student chooses spe- cific courses and instructors in his area of interest. The student is thus afforded a wide range of ideas and viewpoints which makes the curriculum more meaningful to him. This exchange of viewpoints helps make a more liberal edu- cation.

Man searches for truth Craig Lingle Russell McDowell Physical Science, Light Biology 1, Physical Science Booth Advisor J.V. Basketball Coach Sheila Gooding Biology 1, Physical Science, General Math, A.V. Coordinator Ed Cunningham Charles Jurasz Eldon Dennis Outdoor Education Biology 1, 2, 3, CDAA Advisor Chemistry, Physics, Depart- ment Coordinator, Senior Class Advisor Science attempts to explain and understand the relationships and processes that occur in our physical environment. It is also a system or set of skills that we use to gather information. De- veloping these skills and understanding is the re- sponsi tali ty of the science department. Differ- ence in personality and individual student interest make it necessary to offer a wide variety of science courses in order to effectively meet this responsibility. When we solve problems of space and financing, we hope to offer a variety of courses, especially in the areas of environmental science. In way of changes or improvements, a new freshmen level curriculum is in three classrooms. Itfs an investigative approach with emphasis on chemistry and physics concepts. If proven satis- factory, this will be added to the earth science of- fered to freshmen.
