What an amazing week in the classroom. Senior sociology students discussed and debated the health of American families, education, the economy, political system and religion. The topics were examined in the applied light of sociological imagination. The classes proved to be intellectually stimulating to the teacher and hopefully for the students.

Intro to Journalism students have focused on the topic of Muscular Writing. In addition to learning the ins and outs of powerful writing, alum and poet Ben Adams spoke to the class and graciously read his work and answered the questions of the budding writers. The week ended with brainstorming ideas.

The yearbook staff is struggling to meet its first deadline while ensuring that the depth of content and quality is maintained. The Gauger staff is also working to put to bed a planned 16-page paper next week. The commitment of the staff has been key to both programs. Editors Elizabeth Horne and Chloe McMahon are doing a superior job managing and leading their staffs.
