 As 1 made my way into the Social Studies Department, many of my senses were awakened. Walking deeper into this area I turned down into a smaller hallway and noticed Mr. Schedler’s class listening to a lecture. Hear- ing the typewriter stirred my curiosity. I looked behind me to see Mrs. Severance in the office typing up dittos. A JI'S LECTURE TIME, Mr. Schedler gets the attention of his fourth hour class whte getting his final point across about the times of Julius Ceosar. quick sharp whistle caught my attention as I proceeded down the hallway to spy on Mr. Schlimmer getting con- trol of his fourth hour class. Turning the corner, I heard a discussion in Mr. Howell’s so- ciology class. The Social Studies Depart- ment was full of such situa- tions. The combination of ieachers and students was what made this department run smoothly and successful- ly, said Ms. Me Clain. Students found exper- ience was the best teacher, when they did such things as the police ride-along. “The police ride-along in Ameri- can government was an ex- cellent way to learn about the judicial system, com- mented Amie Grau. In Free Enterprise, students learned the reality of the economic system. In this class you realize what pro- ducts are really worth, said Lance Smaw. Social Studies was filled with the knowledge of past and present. With the teachers help and a little ambition we make the fu- ture. Design by Kerri Carmody. Photography by Jason Fie- gel.

QUANDORFF (kwan- dorf) 1. An obscure expression, sort of like nerd. i.e. Look at that quandorff over there with the plaid pants pulled up to his chest and the apple for his teacher in his pocket. ROWDY (raud-C) 1. A word used to describe students’ behavior during a 53-0 annihilation of a lo- cal football rival, i.e. The crowd got rowdy when the team scored another touchdown. UMM ...
