Globetrotters Maps of Magellan and the adventures of Colum- bus were explored while vi- sions of the new world as it once looked were conjured up in the imaginations of World History and USS. History students. Found- ing fathers, Presidents, and wars long forgotten were reviewed. From the ice caps of Antarctica to the steamy jungles of Africa, geogra- phical regions were inves- tigated in geography classes. Questions which pla- gued the nation about world peace were often the same questions that stu- dents of Government and Civics classes also asked. Attempts were made to view and discuss world af- fairs as well as those prob- lems which directly affect- ed the area in which they lived. Terrorism and the threat it proposed to the United States as well as the ongoing disarmament talks with the Soviet Union 14 ACADEMICS were topics of great con- cern to many of the social studies students. One of the hottest current events of the school year was the tragic fate of the space shuttle Challenger’s crew which destructed in a fiery ball as thousands of people watched.

P.E. students whipped into shape by exercising their ability to participate in various games such as volleyball and flag-foot- ball. The Sophomore health students also spent time learning techniques for first-aid and CPR. They practiced mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on “Resusa Annie’. The CPR instruc- tor was Coach Daniel Glass. As the year pro- gressed the students strengthened their driving skills as well as their abili- ties to perform in case of a life threatening situation.
