Expanding Their Awareness Students Inspired To Explore Past Most of us obviously could stand to lose some weight! Mr. Schedler said. This was the result of the social studies department willingness to go to meet- ings. Famous for their lunch meetings and breakfast meetings which always included food, they weren't just the social studies department, they were the social department! The strength of the social studies department was seen mainly in their diversity and their cooperation. Carefully selecting the best candidates for each subject, the M members of the department worked together to enrich one another. Aside from the overcrowdedness, trying to share their many resources among themselves was their biggest obstacle. Enrollment had been the highest in Arizona History, but it had also been higher than pre- vious years in al the subjects, except for A.P. history and C.P. Government. The newest addition to the social studes depart- ment was Engish History. Taught by Mr. Lows, this unique class focused on the history, iterature, music, art, and domestic sciences of earty England. In this class students created side presentations and pro- grams on English music. The idea that each student is a teacher as well as a learner, summed up the feelings of the social stud- ies department. Design by Karen Sheffield. Photos by Kim Robinson.
