STUDENTS VENTURE INTO PAST Does History really repeat itself? Both in World History and U.S. His- tory students found many incidents which seemingly show that History does repeat itself. Along with past History, they followed History-in-the- making through study of current events. The Seniors were split into two classes of Government and Psychology both taught by Mr. Igney. These class- es both held a mock trial to study closer jury procedure. The highlight seemed to be when Mr. Claassen visit- ed the morning class and demonstrat- ed hypnotic suggestion to the students and thoroughly hypnotized Mr. Sheets, who volunteered himself as a subject. Brant Nellans served as the honorable judge during the two day mock trial in 2nd period Government. As Debi records the events, the jury listens to the testimony of de- fendent Ken Anglin with deep interest. Defence attorney Chris Doran, with notes in hand, questions one of the victims, Joyce Norris. Taking notes in U.S. History class is a job done daily. Here, student Diana Hill refers to her text for possible errors. 19

STUDENTS PROVE AND SOLVE Chemistry student Steve Reed fills a wide-mouth bottle to prepare for a pure oxygen experiment. The science room took on a new look as it was filled with gerbils, mice, leeches, and terrariums to help stu- dents observe more closely the aspects of biology and advanced biology. These two classes, chemistry, and physics were also kept busy by con- ducting various experiments under the watchful eye of Mr. Gamble. The study of General Science and Human Anatomy Physiology came under the jurisdiction of Mr. Sheets. While Mr. Hinkle learned to cope with students, the math classes learned to solve proofs and equations, planes and graphs. Learning to add long columns of numbers was the task un- dertaken by the students in Mr. Huff- man’s Business Math Class. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and divi- sion made up the core of the General Math class under the supervision of Mr. Welch. 18 Geometry has many angles. This seems to be what Gary Peters is thinking as he bisects a triangle. Biology students were given a chance to observe first hand the study of plant growth. Here, Physics student John Nyenhuis peeks through one of the flourishing plants.

TRAINING OF MIND AND BODY “A stitch in time saves nine,” and “Others before self,” were the motto- topics that kept the Home-Ec classes busy. Girls learned not only how to sew and cook, but how to evaulate themselves, their ideals, and their goals. Discovering the “ins” and “outs” of taking care of and raising a family completed the schedule for grades nine through twelve. The human anatomy was developed not only through exercises in Phy- sical Education but through the men- tal development stressed in Health classes. Keeping fit physically was only a part of the program aimed at teaching good health habits and the functions of the body. Mrs. Tatman is used as a guinea pig by her Home-Ec class to model wigs in a demon- stration. The remaining five continue to ‘dodge ball’ in Girls Physical Education class taught by Mrs. Finney. Boys P.E. student, Mike Davis, prepares to give a hard serve to the opposing volleyball team. Sr. Home-Ec student Peg Thompson works diligently on her class- room work, a dress.
