Social studies Department grows as classes increase “Because of the many different social studies classes, the department has more students than any other department at Arthur Hill,’ observes Mr. James Keenan, psychology teacher. New classes offered this year were You and Your Investments and Analyzing Public Issues. You and Your Investments dealt with money and how to spend it wisely. Analyzing Public Issues is the study of current- day problems in today’s society. Both of these classes were challenging for students as well as teachers. Mr. Brent Parson’s sociology classes studied human behavior and the natural environment. “Sociology really helps me to understand human behavior’ said Kevin Flynn, junior. Psychology taught by Mr. Keenan, dealt with the human mind and its reactions. In the government and Current Events classes, Congressmen Sparling and Traxler each gave a short presenta- tion on the government and how it works. 3 1390 00951 1591

Deatf Classes prepared for graduation “It was an experience teaching sophomore, junior, and the senior level classes for these three years and I’m looking forward to starting again next year.” Mr. Kalina, teacher for the deaf has much to say about his class, ““This class of deaf students has done very well at high school level for the three years they have been here in spite of no Junior High School.” The classes he taught were about the same as everyone else takes. The students are put into other classes as well as the basic deaf class. The students like all others must meet the needed re- quirements. He uses Total Communication, which consists of key papers, symbols, sign language, speech reading, and some use of hearing aids. Mr. Kalina said of Mrs. Wingling, teacher aid for the deaf, ‘She goes with the students to the classes and when they return she helps them with any problems they may have.” The Deaf program at Arthur Hill is one worth being proud of, due to dedication and hard work of teachers like Mr. Kalina and Mrs. Wingling.
