The C.A.T., a test to determine child mental development, is explained to Melvin Platt and Helen Carbajal by Dr. Sue Nordquist. .1 C' C' 43 X! 'r- ln examining child behavior, Dr. Sue Nordquist uses the Stanford-Benet IQ test. People Provide Topic for Study Human behavior is the major topic of the three courses of study offered by the be- havioral science department. Because people respond according to what they believe, philosophy classes study the meaning of ex- istence, the universe, knowledge, values, and human institutions. This year, some of these ideas were presented to students through Playboy, Charlie Brown, and the writings of Huxley, Orwell, and Ann Band. ln psychology, the study of individual be- havior, students participated in several lab- oratory activities, including acting as both experimenter and testee in the study of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, an IQ test. Also included in the psychology classes was the demonstration of several tests designed to indicate personality traits. Through sociology, a study of people in groups, students viewed a film titled The Detached Americans. This movie demon- strated the fact that people don't want to get involved. Another variation from the regular class lecture schedule was the program and film presented by a VISTA volunteer.

Classes Weigh Influence of World Events Through viewing film strips and movies. history students have been able to see for themselves portions of the events that have influenced the world today. Many United States history classes also drew on current events as topics for class discussion. Fre- quent subjects included the war in Viet Nam and the coming Presidential election. Implementing the basic lectures have been outside reading assignments including for some classes, the reading of several Supreme Court cases. Government classes afforded the student a chance to study the structure of the United States Constitution and government systems. Study also included a summary of Texas state, county, and municipal government sys- tems, contrasted with those of other states. Learning the basic physical elements of geography was achieved with the study of maps, weather and climate, landforms, and natural resources. Human geography of the world involved a special emphasis on man's use of natural and human resources in se- lected regions and countries of the world. Students participated in drawing maps and presenting oral reports. They were also given a thumbnail sketch of each country.
