Social sciences provide views on governmental One of the outstanding departments in any school is social studies . Pioneer excells in the leaders it has for this course. They attempted to lay a foundation for the basic history which is necessary to each student in order to understand and appreciate his heritage. Starting with Indiana history, stu- dents explored geography, world history, United States history, and as seniors pre- pared to face the world they were chal- lenged with a government course. All this contributed to amore well-rounded individ- ual who is proud of his ancestry. Mr. Church can't understand why there are so many puz- zled faces following such a good explanation. Herd Crimmins has a loss of words as he begins his world history book report. Now let me see, I know I had that answer just a few minutes ago. Why didn't I study harder for this government test last night? HARRINGTON STUDIO Logans port

preparation for college Pioneer's language de- partment was extremely successful last year in teaching the students the basic fundamentals of Eng- lish, Latin, and Spanish. In English, word usage and sentence construction were combined to develop each student's writing ability. Combining English knowl- edge with new word forms, Latin and Spanish students found their new language easy to understand and mas- ter. The language students will realize in future years that their efforts in learn- ing a new and different language have paid off. Neal and Linda are experts at putting on makeup--that's one thing they learn in dramatics class. Don't ask me what an adjective clause is; I only made the poster. Beth takes a final look at her chart of kings before handing them in to Mr. Linton. Latin II students admire a past project as they make plans for their own. LOGAN SUPPLY CO. Logans port

issues; modern math develops reasoning skills Slide rules, compasses, and protractors became necessary to the student mathemati- cians last year as they endeavored to solve equations and prove theorems. As algebra and senior math stressed problems in everyday life, geometry pro- moted progression of thought. In arriving at a solution geometry demanded deductive reasoning. Those who pursued the academic course were scheduled to take two years of math. Several students, however, derived a full major in it, realizing that deeper explora- tion of the subject yields a keener mind. Miss Shriner introduces geometric figures to her jun- ior high math class. David, Darlene, and Mike exemplify transfer of learning, employing artistic knowledge in trig class. X4- 5X2 + 4 = 0 (X2 - 4) (X2 - 1) X2 = 4 X2 = 1 4- + X =-2 X = - 1 Now let's see what the answer book says. WELLS APPLIANCE CO. Logans port
