Social Studies Classes Are Interesting American Government, taught by Mr. Kohlmier, is aimed at familiarizing each student with the working govern- ment of the United States. Each student learns the basic principles of the branches of government. American History is a review of events which shaped the growth of our coun- try: What happened, who made it happen, and why. Sociology-Psychology, taught by Mr. Wesselowski, helps students to understand and live in our society and to under- stand why people act as they do. Field trips during the year give students a first hand view of some of the problems. Eric Wesselowski - B.A., K. U., Law- rence Ks., M. S. K. S. U. , Manhattan, Ks.

Mechanical Drawing involves the use of technical drawing instruments to convey ideas graphically. Industrial Arts is the study of manu- facturing and construction of products used in wood- working. Vocational Agriculture is the learning of such skills as metal work, toolcare, welding, animal husbandry, and plant care. Art offers a basic study of design, color, and spatial relationships. The class is not meant to make great artists of all but to help each students see and better understand the world of fine arts. 9
