Family Living, K-12, Social Science's goal Family Living taught at proper and varying degrees of depth led the Social Science program this year for sophomores and seniors. The sophomores explored the world of dating while seniors concentrated on marriage as part of the kindergarten through grade i2 program Class discussions, lectures and films aided iuniors in learning the history of our country. By so studying, stu- dents learned that a country can profit from its mistakes as well as its achievements. Western Civ continued to cater to students interested in research techniques. Em- phasis on old customs and their influence gave an insight to present day problems in Far Eastern Affairs, a one year course for iuniors and seniors. ln psychology-sociology, instruction centered around the individual's responsibility in society and represented a switch from the physiological to psychological aspects in the ever-changing curriculum.

IVIath-Science classes view PG 84 E Atomic Energy exhibit While having only 670 of the world's population, the United States produces more than one-third of its electricity. So said the Pacific Gas and Electric Atomic Energy representative who accompanied the exhibit which was presented to all of San Luis High's science classes. Devoting most of their time to workbooks, Mr. Doe's chemistry classes still found time to do special reports each quarter. The Starhouse, under the care of Mr. Blodgett, has had more than 31,500 visitors since its opening in T963. As one of the five in California's secondary schools, the planetarium has attracted visitors from as far away as Santa Ynez and Coalinga. Mr. Myers, new to the math department, believes that a student should do at least one class demonstraion during the course of the year. Several math analysis students also constructed an abacus. Geometry classes learned the reasoning process so that they might look at the problems logically and thereby build a foundation for advanced math. Lab reports, worksheets, dissection and field trips characterized Biology I and ll classes. The study of mechanics, heat, light and sound was stressed through numerous experiments and demonstrations in Mr, Shaw's physics. -5 Wa. so his 'Q Q f 5. WEN :gas 'Q A ' Q . lg, V . .
