Man's Development Traced Utilizing the idea of modular scheduling, the senior modern problems class strove for more student participation. Mr. Norsted and Mr. Nesheim, the teaching team, combined their classes in the auditorium. Student discussion was encouraged in both large and small groups and also in private interviews with the instructors. Several times during the year, students made arrangements for outside speakers to come to the school. These included state representatives, jack Koslak and Jack Meyer and United States Congressman Clark MacGregor. Ninth graders diligently listen to Mrs. Kuehn's economics lecture. Student protest is the subject of discussion in Miss Westrom's ninth grade social class. T. Sandberg: M.A. Chairman, World History, American History R. Westrom: B.A. Social Studies, Speech I.

Pausing a moment during a classroom lecture, Mr. Nesh-eim checks his notes. Opening his lecture to questions, Mr. Norsted clarifies a confusing aspect of tax deductions. Journeying over and through the city, junior high social studies classes gained first-hand knowledge about Minnesota. The eighth grade class took an airplane tour of the Twin Cities in November. This showed them the different aspects of topography and urban growth. They also raised $75 to provide Thanksgiving dinner to terminal cancer patients. The ninth graders went on a field trip to the State Capitol in St. Paul and then returned to conduct a model legislature in class. After a one year stay in Europe, Mr. Sandberg also returned to teach the junior history classes. R. Norsted: B.A. Modern Problems, American History C. Nesheim: M.S.

Mathematics 8, Applied Mathematics P. Redlinger: B.A. Geometry, Math Analysis The mathematics department provided learning experiences geared to the students needs, junior high classes studied basic mathematical skills and were introduced to new areas of studies such as base systems, percentages, and volumes. Freshmen and juniors who had decided to go on in math developed their algebraic skills while sophomores explored the field of geometry. Senior math students, despite adverse conditions such as breaking water pipes, delved into probability, trigonometry, and bits of calculus. Applied math provided a practical approach to everyday math. Mathematicians Tackled Theory Mrs. Pletan's lively class scrutinize the steps in solving a problem. With the wheels turning and the answers stirring, Andy Scholberg and Mr. Hugill confer about a solution.
