Miss Anthrop ' s U.S. history class provided the juniors with plenty to do. Weekly maps and worksheets, along with pages and pages of notes, were all a part of the daily routine. In addition to this, she often showed slides and filmes to help the students become better acquainted with the material in the text. Miss Anthrop always came up with new projects for her students. One day, they walked into the classroom and found large boxes of vermiculite sitting on the floor. This was the result of her plan to show them what an archeological dig was. The students carefully started dig- ging, and soon discovered genuine artifacts that she had placed deep inside. In October, several students joined Miss Anthrop in a booth at the Feast of the Hunter ' s Moon. There, dressed in pioneer garb, they made candles while visitors of the Feast watched. One project sent the juniors to Greenbush Cemetery, where they traced the markings on the gravestones. An- other assignment required them to take pictures of a current fad or event that was taking place in Lafayette. In November, the history students visited Conner Prai- rie. They watched people role play the lives of the settlers as they would have been in the 1830 ' s. They were taken on a special tour of the pioneer settlement, which includ- ed a visit to each one of the cabins. U.S. history was a lot of Work, but many of the stu- dents found that it was a valuable learning experience. They thought that all the extra projects were interesting, and made the material covered in class easier to under- stand. 62 U.S. history
