More highly intent and dif- ficult classes were the social studies classes offered. Since social studies was a re- quirement, sophomores took world history, juniors took U.S. History, and seniors took government. Although the thought of social studies made many students nauseous and sick to their stomachs, it polled out to be one of the most popular and liked classes in the curriculum. Teachers such as Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Granier, and Mr. Bierman accepted the challenge of teaching the subject in a more fun and exciting way. They accomplished this through forming a happy at- mosphere and playing games to help memorize events. Then there was Mr. Bierman who called tests opportunities and quizzes challenges . by Katie Knight Pam Allen and Dana Danforth laugh hysterically at one of their peers.

Earning for fun Verein, asociacion, club — no matter how it was said, a club was formed by a group of peo- ple who shared the same in- terests. In the case of the Inter- national Club, the interests in- cluded learning about other countries and trying recipes from all over the world. The International Club met once a month to explore the cuisine of a certain country. After dinner, the members watched a film presentation and learned interesting facts about the country. The Science Club spent time organizing and taking field trips. The club members visited the Fleischmann Atmospherium Planetarium in Reno, where they experienced a projected space flight in the year 2050. They also went to the Old Sacramento Railroad Museum and to the Sacramento Zoo. International Club Science Club l i ' lJBi ' l

■•• X Blah! Mind Blah! Matters Psychology was just one of the academic classes offered at the school, and it was considered an elective. The majority of students who par- ticipated in psychology were juniors and seniors. Altnough psychology sounded like an extremely difficult and highly ad- vanced science class, many found out differently. Students such as Senior Heidi Cooper enjoyed psychology due to its effects on each individual person. During the first semester, Mr. Bateman concentrated on the basics of child behavior and its treatment. He also spent time on raising children. During the second semester, Mr. Bateman focused on the student as a person, his behavioral conflicts and outlooks on life. All of this involve- ment between teacher and student seemed to build a tactful relationship. This class gave students the chance to analyze themselves and to acknowledge where self improvement should be taken into hand. After completing psychology, students were then eligible to take Peer Counseling which gave first hand ex- perience in dealing with elementary children. by Katie Knight Juniors Susanna Bean, Margie Cornick, and Tiffany Hoffman, review for tomorrow ' s cfiapter exam for psychology.
