Ellen Milburn helps Mitch Seal in an interesting psychol- ogy demonstration, which shows how a magician can divert an audience's attention by sleight of hand. Seeing fhe world in perspecfive Although the sense of sight figures extensively in science classes and in many others, such as psychology and Driver's Ed. , it is also used in the Social Studies Depart- ment. For the first time in years, the Social Studies De- partment was satisfied with their position in the school. Many long overdue books and supplies were finally deliv- ered, solving many complaints As the department took up business in the former Eng- lish team rooms, other changes were also instituted. Two new courses, Advanced Placement, U.S. History and Criminal Jus- tice, were added to the agenda Along these lines, students were also given a chance to work at the county courthouse in Ellicott City.

Pencil + paper + infellgence 2 Mafh Eyes are required equip- ment for many things. One of these is field trips, which are used to bring students closer to their subject. Wheth- er a class goes to various corporations, such as those who participated in Business Day did , or to a wildlife preserve at Meredith Creek for Science, field trips provide a valuable insight into the workings of the many organizations high school scholars study . One department that did not take students outside of the building was the Math De- partment. Although a relative- ly quiet year for the teachers of quadratic equations and co- ordinate plane systems, one small dispute has come up due to the recent nationwide dis- cussion over the competence of many high school graduates. Because of this controversy, the Howard County Board of Ed- ucation has set up standards for Math proficiency. However, a standardized proficiency test has not been developed leaving the department stranded . De- spite this, 19'7'7 marked the first time a math team has competed from Mount Hebron. Also, over ninety students partici- pated in the National Ex- amination, many scoring well. 11 In - - 1 f,,'f1 . . s 1-,gi 1 , ,lu TOP LEFT: A group of Hebron students visit Bendix Corporation as part of learning the realities of the business world.
