Large social studies department added new classes Mr. Willemsen shows student teacher Mr. Klippert discussion plans for the day in modern problems. Two new classes were offered in the so- cial studies field this year, making this North- east's largest department. These were philoso- phy and United States government. Economic classes proved exciting for sen- iors who learned how to read stock markets. Mr. Leatherman's class bought 310,000 Worth of stock, although imaginary, and kept a watchful eye on it. Mr. Hiza's classes, how- ever, were more realistic. They bought four shares of Walter Kidde Company at 359.75 When it reached a peak of 5581.25 near the close of first semester, they sold and each re- ceived a small profit. Philosophy class, led by Mr. Leatherman, was an experience. Students studied and dis- cussed philosophies from the time of Plato.

New climatarium sparked added interest in research Keith Watt B. S., Tarkio, Missourig University of Nebraskag Biologyg Science Club Clayton Luther braskag Reserve Football Ellis Jeffery B. A. , M.

Some of the classes are biology, chemistry, physiology, and advanced physics. Biology students take part in labs, ob- serving organisms under the microscope. The students in chemistry experimented with sub- stance, physiology students studied the human body, and physics students probed the nature of matter and energy and laws governing them. There was excitement in biology classes this year caused by the new climatarium. This is a glass-enclosed structure which duplicates weather conditions of all climatic zones. Making sure all parts are in the proper places, Mike Thiellen looks over the human torso model in physiology class.
