Mr. Stimson spent most of the year giving lectures with the students taking notes. The juniors were also expected to keep American History notebooks. These notebooks contained names of famous people, dates, and answers to the questions given in the text book. In American Problems the seniors read their News- weeks every week and discussed the problems that con- cerned the citizens of the nation. The American Prob- lems class was under the direction of Mr. Kahle. Pictured above is the fifth period American Problems class. Kathy Von Riesen speaks to the class on her topic in economics. Above is pictured Mr. Kahle, the teacher of Social Studies and American Problems. Mr. Woolley, pictured above, teaches World History. The fifth period American Problems class saw a Screen News Digest on the pipeline cutting of the water connection between Cuba and Guantanamo. After seeing the film, the class then decided to write and inquire about purchasing this pipe. Mike Mitchell volunteered to write the inquiry. On April the 27th, Mike re- ceived word from Rear Admiral John D. Bulkeley, Commander of Guantanamo Na- val Base that, in response to their request, they were sending a memento of the cut- ting of the water pipeline. On May 8th, the plaque was received. Mike then pre- sented the plaque to the high school on the 21st of May. The pipe will be displayed in the trophy case along with the letter from Admiral Bulkeley and the history of the plaque.

HISTORY CONNECTS PAST WITH PRESENT Brush High School's Social Science department includes the courses of so- cial studies, world history, American History and American Problems. These courses of study are instructed by Mr. Larry Kahle, Mr. Thomas Woolley, and Mr. Paul Stimson. World history is the only social science subject that is not required for graduation. Throughout the year, the freshmen spent six weeks on the teenagers book, learned many important facts about government, and were required to read a current events magazine each week. In World History, Mr. Woolley required his students to read a novel and write a short research paper each six weeks. At the end of the year they wrote a longer research paper. Mr. Stimson oversees Ameri- can History classes. Mike Mitchell poses with the plaque.
