Although the classes interacted to some degree, there was a direct point at which they differed. You have to remember that psychology is the study of the in- dividual and sociology is the study of groups, said sociology teacher Mrs. Stone. In the sociology class, the students studied the culture, relationships and social problems of various ethnic groups. They ran surveys and reported their findings to the class. Sociology students were given the opportunity to perform volunteer work in nursing homes, homes for autistic children and telephone hot-lines. Two juniors, Allison Adels and Pam Kurio, worked in the Baptist smile when you walked in the door. It really . . . well . . . inspired you to give them your best, Pam smiled. Psychology studied the individua and the reasons humans behave th way they do. Mrs. Roberts explained, The ob- jective is self-awareness. If you want to change your behavior, you will find out how to. Students were asked to participate in many in-class experiments, self- exploration activities and analysis oi research articles. Most students enrolled i psychology were sincerely intereste in discovering why they act the way. they do. I think the class was fun, becaus everybody in there really wanted td be there, and that's not too common,' stated Senior Diane Auchter.
