Because it was a new requirement, the class of '84 was the first to experience this simulated war. Stu- dents were divided into groups assigned to govern countries and then make important decisions involved in a major world conflict. Other less time-consuming areas of Global Issues included geography, studies of war, peace, and terrorism, and of course a ten- page term paper. Consumer Economics was the flip-flop class with Global Issues. The best part of Consumer Ec was getting 510,000 from the teacher, said Cindy Holder. After receiv- ing the money, students spent about two months buying and selling stocks. No class M time was allotted for that projec subjects covered were budgeting, market, and supply and demand. berg, Mr. Burch, Mr. Cantonw t. Other the trade rs.

Not all students found the classes as worthwhile. Many times during the year the question Why do we need to know this? was voiced. Mrs. Moberg explained the ne- cessity of Global Issues: In all polls taken around the world, U.S. students placed near the bottom in the knowledge of world af- fairs in comparison with students their age in other developed nations. The state, not- ing this, tried to remedy the situation and changed the requirement for graduation to include global studies. Students needed to be aware of events in the world around them. The situation in Lebanon and the in- vasion of Grenada were international high- lights that illustrated U.S. interdependence. The Day After also brought a controver- sial topic to the screen and provided insight into nuclear confrontation which students simulated in a dangerous parallel situa- tion. Whether students appreciated the classes or not, it was the general consensus that all would remember the below-freezing tem- perature in the classrooms, and of course, Mr. Burch's daily jokes. -S.

Ska'd for life What was definitely mod, had purple hair, and walked through the halls saying Oi! ? Well, for those of you who haven't fig- ured it out by now, it was South's one and only Terry Martell. Terry had been involved in the Drama Department since her sophomore year. She had parts in School For Scandal and The Marriage Proposal. Terry also helped with props and make-up for the other plays. Drama student Becky Pugh commented, She's not what you would call your aver- age store-bought punk! . Besides being active in the Drama De- partment, Terry was on Photo Staff for two years, and spent her senior year on year- book staff. A fellow yearbook staffer, Sally Meininger, said, One word to sum up Ter- ry Martell would be impossible!
