Pirkko Pernoa wonders helplessly. events info classfzooms As world conditions-the reunification of Germany, reciprocal trade agreements, the Cuban affair-presented new problems to be pondered in social studies closses, stu- dents sought solutions to the complex crises of today by analyzing men's motivations. l-ligh school geography, which viewed uni- versal politics and systems of power, gave practice in an all-lecture class. Presidents, their parties, and their terms were studied in U.S, history. Civics, which laid the foun- dation for comprehension of the structure of democratic government, showed the sim- ilarities of national, stote, and local con- trol. Economics stressed the four wants: security, recognition, response, and variety. Sources of worry, also, were notebooks and reports. World history pupils found them- selves giving talks which dealt with the differing industrial capabilities of nations. Geography and world history classes faced the task of compiling notebooks about the Soviet Union, and aspiring sociologists sub- mitted booklets of notes, clippings, and articles. All efforts tended toward increased awareness of humanitarian aspects of life.

Literature students Vicky Henson and Tom Obenchain visit merry old England via Miss Hochhalter's travel brochures. In three years of high school, pupils cov- ered tour aspects of English: grammar, literature, speech, and dramatics. Silas Marner, Voluntaries Ill, and Pygma- lion forced many literature students to burn the midnight oil, ln grammar classes diagrams, book reports, and short stories were the order ot the day. English X, an ad- vanced composition course, helped students develop style. A ten-minute final speech climoxed Speech I, while Speech II ended with contests in debate and extemporan- eous speaking. Dramatics classes, after studying the history ot the stage and the principles ot acting, spent part ot the se- mester preparing tor the senior class play.

Nancy Lindley and Daniel Quillen prepare for the Hallo- ween season by constructing comic masks from newspapers. Teenage belief that all music is the twist and all art is abstract was refuted by the discussions in art and music classes which provided students with an introduction to the fine arts. Using this erudition as a background, students progressed to an ap- preciation of Michelangelo and Beethoven. Objectives of music appreciation ranged from the study of symphonies, concertos, and operas to modern jazz and the newest bossa nova. Practical class assignments included television musicals, radio con- certs, and trips to the Purdue Music l-lall. To connect the past with the present, bio- graphies of three famous composers or artists were included as required reading. Art classes incorporated various aspects of design. During the first semester, stu- dents molded vases and dishes from clay. Painting in oils was initiated and sculp- turing was added as a challenge to more advanced classes. The science of advertis- ing was also probed, Starting with a study of artists and their works as a springboard, classes experimented with art forms which originated with the Renaissance masters.
