Joy NedolT and Bonnie Ashmore, seniors, make use of the last of the blue, bouncing Soc. chairs. Miss Linda Markulin taught two sections each of Social Studies I and IV. Experimentation was one of the key goals of this year’s Social Studies area. A new ninth grade course in economics, taught by Mr. Stuart Stockhaus, was added to the social studies curriculum. This course was based on the theory that if a student acquires the ability to reason clearly and objectively, he will be better equipped for solving economic problems. This philosophy was displayed in a Project Social Studies pamphlet 'The Affluent Society” when Lewis Carroll’s Alice comments to the Hatter: Really, now you ask me,” said Alice, very much confused. 1 don’t think--” Then you shouldn’t talk,” said the Hatter. The senior social studies class differed from the world problems taught in the past to a course summarizing the basic concepts learned in grades 7 through 11. During the year, Mr. Robert Beery and Mr. Stockhaus worked on their Ph.D.’s while Mr. Gerald Pitzl and Miss Linda Markulin were working on Master’s degrees. Mr. David Wold and Mr. Michael Rockier were also working on doctorates. Mr. Pitzl, the only new instructor in the area, left during spring quarter on a snowmobile expedition to the North Pole. Three sections of Social Studies V were instructed by Mr. Gerald PiUl. KiP
