The Social Science teachers from Lincoln High School held meetings with those from Lincoln Senior Elementary in which they went over their curriculum. Concentrating on articulating curriculum with Lincoln Senior Elementary was one of our most impor- tant goals this year, stated Department Executive Leonard Dofflemeyer. The department reviewed what was good and what was bad in order to make better changes in the classes. In addition to a new curriculum, the Social Science Depart- ment is in the process of instituting a new course called Advanced Placement. The class is for students taking the advanced placement test for U.S. History. The course will help the students to progress in their skills and prepare them for college testing, stated Dofflemeyer. Many students take the placement test, and the department hopes that the course will aide them with any difficulties they may be hav- ing. According to Junior Hayley Smith, The Social Science Department shows a definite sign of improvement for future students.

,,wiU9 ' .f f- ' T xfdxf WG QQ- Senior opt to drop When the P.E. graduation requirement was dropped to 30 credits, many seniors opted not to take a fourth year of P.E. This did not surprise the department and they expect- ed enrollment to get back up to normal in the next year or so. Sophomores also experienced a change in P.E. Tenth grade participants in school sports used to be dismissed from P.E. class during the seasons that they practiced. This was changed so that all underclassmen were required to attend P.E. regardless of whether or not they were involved in school sports. Although many sophomores were unhappy with this, Ester Nelson, head of the P.E. department, explained that having good athletes in the classes promoted positive attitudes towards athletics. The positive attitudes of close to 20 students in the new life saving class made getting into the water at 7:45 A.M. just a little easier. They worked hard for five mods, twice a week. One day, while most people were hiding under um- brellas, the determined life savers were out swimming in the pouring rain. By the end ofthe semester, the majority of the class received their Advanced Life Saving Certifi- cates which gave them the opportunity to get lifeguarding jobs. Miss Taz Tasnady taught the course and extreme- ly enjoyed it. They were a super group and they really worked, remarked Tasnady. Miss Tasnady was a student teacher from the University ofthe Pacific. The P.E. department hadn't had a student teacher in five years and Ester Nelson said that it was a lot of fun and a great challenge to have a student teach- er. The students felt the same way about Taz and thought that the idea ofa student teacher was a good one. When the P.E. department looked into the future they saw new equipment and an open lab as things they would like to add to their program. The obstacles in their way were, of course, space and money.
