As students become overly enthusiastic in sup- porting their presidential candidates, Col. Luck forcefully reprimands the assembly. A rousing finale of the 1968 mock election is proclaimed as multi-colored balloons are spilled over a boisterous crowd of Nixonites. 1 Qjrtmu,, Q iuis- Q. J uptO Ui; ?

Social Studies Mock Election, Campaigns Foster Discussions Cast your vote for a President! Cam- paign managers and active supporters ral- lied together to reenact a mock presiden- tial election held on November 5, 1968, the actual day of the election. After listening to the platforms of the candidates, the Farmers marked their ballots and elected Governor George C. Wallace. Through the use of audio-visual equipment and weekly magazines, the department, supervised by Col. Ellis Luck, strove to broaden the stu- dent’s scope of current events. As Seniors confronted the study of our nation’s government, juniors encountered a detailed summary of the events of U.S. History and their effects. World His- tory, World Geography, U. S. History I and II, and Sociology were other courses taught by the capable department. Airing their opinions through many discussions and heated debates and by reviewing past history, students gained a better under- standing of the world of today and sought a place in our moving society. Surrounded by campaign paraphernalia, juniors studying U. S. History supplement the course with discussions and reports concerning current political elections.

Math Integrated Calculus Adds Fun to Math “What! Girls in a calculus class!” For the first time at Warwick, two senior girls became students of the formerly all male calculus class. This made the largest class of this type in Warwick’s history. Through the thorough organization of the Math Department, an extensive as- sortment of courses, including regular math, Algebra I and II, geometry, trigo- nometry, math analysis, and calculus, were offered. Again this year the Math Department, headed by Mr. Neil Drum- mond, offered the National Mathematics Test to all students taking Algebra II and beyond. With the completion of the school came several conveniences for math instructors. The blackboards were divided into three major sections — one polar graph, one rec- tangular graph, and one plain board. A centrally-located storage room also pro- vided more varied teaching aids to help demonstrate that Warwick’s Math De- partment was on the move. 18 Procedure is the key word for Maryanne Adams as she endeavors to reason out a geometry problem.
