ai . 5 Q 'W .j'?Q , 5 5, 44 60 Faculty Section Studying History Is A Blast from the Past When you enrolled in World Geography, American History, or Free Enterprise, what was the main thought that struck you? What do we need to know about George Franklin and ah, who's that other guy, Benjamin Washington? and anyways, nobody wants to know where Nigeria is.', Many students started out with a S-D-R-A-W-K-C-A-B- attitude about past history. With teachers like the P.V. social studies that tried their best to make our required 2 and W years of social studies educational and fun, many P.V. students realized that it wasn't really all that hard to get Ben and George straight. If students really put in an effort, they probably could have told you where Nigeria is...so before they knew it, they really did know it. Junior Sarah Gale said, American History was a potentially boring sub- ject made interesting by Mr. Seivers. You could have asked just about any student at P.V. and they would have probably said the same thing: It's just another class, but it was taught in an interesting way. Mr. Cook's American History classes were asked to present an oral report on the Constitution. Each stu- dent was required to design a report, other than an oral speech, to discuss with their classmates. Some students chose to use drawings and plays to get their point across. The students were told that if they did a good job there wouldn't be a test! That was enough to make everyone strive to do a good job. According to a student survey, the P.V. Social Studies teachers as a whole conducted their classes in a way that made their classes fun and the students wanted to learn about history, past, and present. Remember, when you study the past, you are really educating for your future. This was the motto to be remembered in these classes.
