' ' L yt t c J i j L i -.- OZZIE, YOU OLD DEVIL! angrily shouts Mr. Ward Baker to Ozzie, a favorite janitor, before getting a bucket full of confetti in the face. This argument was staged before the sociology class to show that eyewitness accounts can differ because of emotions and prejudices. From freshman classes of citizenship to senior classes of government and sociology, students in social studies classes learned about themselves and the make-up and background of their government. Citizenship students discovered the part they played in this seemingly big school. After making a study of occupations, they com- piled their findings into career notebooks. In United States history students traced the development of their country from pre-revolutionary days to the present cold war. They noted ho v industry, labor, and inter- national relations figured in the growth of the United States. World history classes studied the de- velopment of modern nations from the earliest civili- zations, while geography classes discovered that land formations have influenced history. Seniors had their choice of sociolog) ' , economics, or international rela- tions, a course which probes the current problems among nations. After a semester of government, seniors realized how their city, state, and national Sfovernments affect their lives.

Logarithms and Bubbling Brews Baffle Scientists DETERMINING DIFFERENCES between compound and simple leaves, Mr. John Chelminiak ' s Biology 11 class looks at the leaves of the thornlcss locust tree on a spring field trip. Pop! The cork from Mr. Charles Karst ' s bottle sailed across the room. In an experiment he showed students the dangers involved in making hydrogen gas. Aware of safety rules, chemistry students used proper lab tech- niques in their experiments. To prepare students for college, Mr. Karst tried new methods of teaching in his four chemistry classes: lectures, tapes, and pro- grammed learning books. Squeamish biology pupils dissected frogs and grass- hoppers. They learned to distinguish the monarch Ijutterfly from a viceroy butterfly and studied the sys- tems and organs of their own bodies. Physics classes, with a 45 to 1 ratio of boys to girls, studied the changes of matter and energy and per- formed about forty experiments. Observing a bowling ball hung from a tripod, pupils determined the gravitational pull, while other students swung balls around for a circular motion problem. Trade Science I covered general science and some chemistry and physics. During the second semester students specialized in one of five divisions related to their chosen vocations. The problems were like those they would meet in industry after graduation.
