STUDENTS Study For the juniors, American History can be interesting. Each week they look forward to reading their Newsweek Magazines and writing reports. This year while studying the Civil War, each person had to give a speech on a famous battle. They were thankful, though, for not having to do research themes. Mrs. VanDyke lec- tures the class on crimes and juvenile delinquency. Everyone enjoys Modern Problems. Each student receives the American Observer every week, which keeps them up on daily events. Most of the year is spent in lec- tures and panel discussions on topics facing the society today. Mike! says Ed, Where did you put the answer sheet? Mrs. VanDyke, Modern Problems teacher. Harley Sullivan makes use of his time by reading his monthly News Pointer. Above shows the American History class discussing errors made on the Screen News Digest test given previously. 12 Mr. Mills, American History and Social Studies Instructor
