28 History Once upon a time when the world to us was nothing more than green dragons and fierce warriors, we had no concept of government, ancient histories, different cultures, or war. After sitting and listening to various teachers and hearing fellow students express their views, we could no longer hide our heads in the sand and live in make believe. Our curriculum over a four year period makes sure that none of us leave ignorant of the world around us, present or past. World History, taken by freshmen, concentrated on what's happened in other countries and how it affected the U.S. Students heard all about the different wars again, but this time in more detail. U.S. History and Advanced U.S. History taken by juniors, and Sociology, taken by seniors, had a new twist this year.(At least Mrs. Nay's classes did.) Mrs. Nay, during the second nine weeks, started working up at the White House every afternoon in the Gifted and Talented Program for the junior high. Mr. Galm took her place for the rest of the year. He taught periods 5, 6, and 7. Mr. Galm owns Bob Galm Realty, Inc., in Nashville. Sociology, taught by Mrs. Nay, and Psychology class, taught by Mrs. Anderson, concentrated on not just being aware of the world, but of oneself too. Students did projects in the classes, such as collages in Psychology that expressed their personality, and a special project in Sociology that explained why they behaved the way they did. Senior Emily Kelso did a poem explaining herself. This is an excerpt from that writing... Why I behave the way I do, it's all very simple to me and you. I love to laugh and have some fun, of course it's after work is done. School to me is such a drag, but without education I'll be an old hag... I depend on others for a ride to school, I can't be tardy, gotta keep my cool. Late again, oh panic panic!!! No wonder I act so schizophrenic. A letter from school that states the reason I think they're trying me for treason. Then the doctor said I'm sick you see, and in some classes, I can’t be. above: Mrs. Nay's junior history class pledges allegiance to the flag along with the rest of the school in honor of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
