PHOTO L B Look like we made it Photo men fino' work hectic, staffs demands out ofreach esidei losing contact sheets, print- IH t e wron ictures, runnin out of chemicals and lgodak paper, and misplacing cameras, the photographers hlp more serious difficulties than t ese. A combined yearbook and newspa- per staff, an October wedding which caused journalism adviser Miss Judy Gossett to become Mrs. Judy Ander- ton, a belated Christmas present from Mrs. Anderton - informing the staff she was leavin in the middle of March, having to fini? another printer for the newspaiper, and trying to break in a new a viser were on a few of the headaches. Through these trivial set- backs, the staff and photo ra hers managed to produce one yearbook and nine issues o the newspaper. According to Senior Darryl Yee, ' Photographers . . . you canit print 50 different pic- tures injust 2 minutes? The staff knew this was an impossibility. It was impos- sible for a photogra her to print 50 dif- ferent pictures 1n E minutes, but the staff also knew that it was not an improbability to print 50 pictures in three minutes - especially when the pictures were needed in a hurry. Jun- ior Tom Freireich said, . . . if you look in the yearbook, the pictures are 65 percent, the rest is layout and writ- ing - 35 percent? If this is true then the photographers should know why 99 percent o the staff is in the dark room yelling for pictures. What does it take to be a hoto ra- pher? As Yee said, Stupidity, Tee added, . . because anybody has got to be crazy to work their rear end offf' Photographers had little social life because they were usually in the dark- room or taking pictures. It got incon- venient at times, like when you wanted to go to a movie. Sometimes it inter- fered because you had to take pictures on Friday night, said Freireich. It was common knowledge that the photographers and the layout and writ- ing staffs did not get along. Neither de artment tried to intermix with the other department. Yee said, . . if there was a way to et around the bureaucracy of the staff it should have been tried.' The Journalism Deplartment had some modest photograp ers. As Freir- eich said, The Anvil and Reata have good photographyg just ask anyone of us fphotographersj and we'll tell you. -3 - - Carol Roberts

MI D SCIENCES Look like we made it Sfuolenfs examine behaviorf experimenf with own reacffons PSYCHOLOGY rouched beneath a table with foot extended. a student sits anxiously awaiting his test of conditional response. The light flickers on. the foot remains extended. failing to react in time. and the prick of a pin is felt penetrating into the stu- dent's heel. YEOWll he yells. This is by no means a form of torture: rather merely one of many experiments per- formed in psychology. The experiment showed that when the light came on. the foot was supposed to be jerked away or a pin would be pricked into the foot. said Psychology teacher Mrs. Mary Caudle. lt was an example of conditional response. a learning process that once the light comes on. an instant reaction is needed or pain will occur. she said. Junior Ashley Laney said. We do a lot of experiments in Psychology. but I liked this one. When the light came on. the girls tended to just sit there and withhold the pain. while the guys would jerk their foot away. The guys were the ones to scream when they got poked. WORKING ON A CLASS ASSIGNMENT, Sociol- ogy students Kerry Thornhill and Ted Rogers share their sources. According to Kerry, the class studied human behaviors in the different classes of society.

Units of study included death, environment, and poverty. Photo by Kathy Epps. Sociology Conditional response. along with trans- actional analysis. was part of Psychology that Miss Caudle taught. I wanted them tthe studentsl to learn the different branches of psychology and what psychol- ogy is really likef' She said. We did a lot of really good experiments. said Miss Caudle. The one the kids seemed to like best is the trust walk. where one per- son leads another blindfolded friend through the halls. It was really a lot of fun. she said. The people in the halls could never figure out what was going on. Senior Mark Wood said that Psychology made him more aware of the surroundings and feelings of man. A prime example. Mark said. was a question on a sample l.Q. test. lt showed a series of pictures of a bur- glar brcaking into a house. A white child put the series together showing the cop catching the burglar. but a black child arranged the pictures with the cop acting as an accomplice. he said. Miss Caudle said that the black kid could be put in a slow school for the way he put it together. Mark said. but it wouldn't be the kid's l.Q..just the area where he lived that made him put the series together that way. SOCIOLOGY Sociology is the scientific analysis of a social institution asa functioning whole. as it relates to the rest of society. To Senior Robert Lee it was. The scien- tific study of human behavior in groups, This was my first year here and I loved it. I got along great with the students: they were really intelligent. said Sociology teacher Miss Stone. People often mistake psychiatry for sociology: actually they are totally differ- ent. Psychiatry deals with a person's mental or emotional behavior. while sociology deals with human behavior in groups. said Miss Stone. We had lots of speakers who talked on abortion. old age pensions. etc. said Senior Sheryl Shellene. -30 - - C'uIhvri'm' Bemian and Penlit' Sterling AS THE CLASS'S NAME IMPLIES, Sociology stu- dents Ted Rogers and Leslie McKay socialize.
