It was one which introduced new faces of teachers and students along with new courses. For the first time, psychology, sociology, astronomy, environmental science, and Writing I played an important role in the elec’ive course program. The astronomy course worked fine, said planetarium director Dale Ott, despite the fact that students could not delve too deeply into the mathematics involved due to lack of in-depth training. I would really like, related Robert Kratzer, Writing I teacher, to see my students achieve recognition through their writing. Some hockey team members started the year by journeying to Holland. Joceleyn Kaligis, coach, said of the experience, The education attained through the trip was unlimited. Hoping to motivate students with a new approach, some teachers varied techniques. Pete Haja, student teacher for social studies, introduced his classes to problems of democracy by having them role play. Walking imaginary tight ropes and swatting flies were a few of the roles portrayed. Students studying business received some practice by maintaining the book store. Charles Barhight, business teacher, felt there was no better way than first-hand experience to educate students.
