Over there! Mr. Robert Rubidoux lectured his World History class. Many times hand motions helped get the point across. iPhoto by Steven Babb.l Waiting patiently .. .

Remember When Most Students Can't Remember But . . . hey're learning it in World History, U.S. History, and World Geogra- phy. These classes reminded students of all the important things in the past. U.S. History was so important that it was required for graduation. U.S. History is required for gradu- ation because it is necessary for under- standing the past and hopefully the fu- ture, said Jamie Gestwicki. U.S. History taught students the heritage of their country that every citi- zen should know. It helped students un- derstand how things of the past formed features in today's society. 6 History Most students can relate to U.S. History better than World History, said Jamie Gestwicki. Carrie Glibbery and Karen Rawls both agreed that U.S. History covered more interesting topics than World History. World History and World Geography dealt with the world and how it has changed. Students learned about coun- tries that formed because of war and how borders changed. These courses helped most students get a broad-over- view of the world. Shannon Rice

Want to take easy classes so we'll have a light load next year? Surel Dick said. Why don't we take yearbook or newspaper. This hypothetical situation was just one of the many wrong opinions stu- dents had about journalism courses of- fered at Mauldin. Students had the idea that it was all easy writing and no homework. Simply crip courses. Stu- dents didn't realize just how much work and responsibility went into produc- tion. Shannon Rice, a new yearbook staff member, said she didn't realize how responsible she had to be along as well as doing picky little jobs she never would have dreamed of. The students put out quality work to make the yearbook and newspaper suc- cesses. Teachers not only gave students writing and layout assignments, but the staffs also worked on advertising cam- paigns to help lower the cost of the pro- ducts. To explain the matter in easy terms, working in the yearbook or newspaper classes was like putting a puzzle togeth- er. First, the information had to be gathered, then it had to be pieced to- gether to fit. Amy Coggins Journalism
