Students review election procedures SPEAKING TO ECONOMICS CLASSES, Mr. John A. Norris of the AFL-CIO explains management-labor relations. Stimulated by a week of lectures and films, stu- dents enrolled in the social studies program took an active interest in the selection of state and local of- ficials. Centralites devoted this period to learning the platforms of the two major parties and the views of the independent candidates. Supplementing the ma- terial already available to students, publications by several organizations such as the League of Women Voters and the Indiana Chamber of Commerce g ave insight into the candidates ' opinions on current issues. Especially obtained for the students in the Social Studies Department, the film, The Making of a Presi- dent, 1960, which was based upon the book of the same name by Theodore H. White, was shown early in the year. It informed the viewing audience of the proceedings and activities prior to the conventions through the nominations of John Kennedy and Richard Nixon. By way of the study of one of the true forms of democracy in action, the election of the leaders of the people, the teachers hoped to expand the students ' appreciation of the machinery of our government.

IN GENERAL MATHEMATICS CLASS Bill Alsop is in- trigued by a fascinating number line problem. Algebra courses Instituting a great change in the format of the course, team teaching was experimented with in the algebra classes taught by Mr. Albert Schiffli and Mr. H. Brown Harrison. In these classes, pupils had to rely upon the notes which they took from the lectures given by the teachers. From these lectures the students received the explanations needed to complete their as- signments. While one teacher was a class member who needed assistance with a particular problem, the other instructor could continue with the remainder of the class. This manner was followed throughout the entire school year. Returning to North Central after living in Turkey, Mr. Allan Weinheimer resumed his position as the Mathematics Department chairman. While residing in Ankara, Mr. Weinheimer was a mathematics con- sultant for a two year period.
