From Suicide To Law . . . History Students Dabble In Cuisine Famous people, natural disasters, politics and suicidep a plot for a multi-million dollar movie? No they're just the everyday occurrences of Charles Page's social studies de- partment. Teachers strive to add flavor to the sometimes drab history courses. ' For sociology-psychology teacher Mr. Wayne McDowell, suicide was a primary source of study. According to Mr. McDowell, Suicide is one of the leading causes of teenage death, and I feel it is necessary for the students to under- stand the problem so they will be able to avoid the danger. Students considered the psychology and sociology classes very enjoyable and enlightening. Students partici- pated in many experiments involving social groups, prima- ry traits and other aspects of the course. Rick Siegel com- mented that although the grades were tough, I've learned a lot about myself and the people around me. American government students also had several projects they worked on. Under the leadership of Mrs. Kaye Battles, students prepared political surveys which many Page stu- dents were badgered to sign. The questions deal with vital political issues and moral stands. Besides the surveys, gov- ernment students also participated in a mock legislature in which students divided into Democrats and Republicans. Legislation was introduced, debated and noted on in order to get a closer view of the legislative process. Many of the students used this as experience for Youth in Government Legislative sessions. A number of ideas were exchanged and opinions argued as students gave their views of the issues. In history classes, teachers looked for new ways to in- form their students of historical happenings. To help world history students better understand the various foreign cul- tures they studied, Mr. Bill Lobdill had students take a specific nation and prepare a special project on it. The activities included bringing an example of the nation's cuig sine, a conversation with an authority of that country, and an analysis of the country. This was designed to give stu- dents an in depth look at many nations. The other history teachers also gave students informative outlooks on history. Films, lectures, and guest speakers helped make history an interesting subject. 90 Social Studies PICK ONE! - Eric Russell and Mark McCallough participate in a sociolo- gy experiment. This experiment deals with the idea of human truthfulness. The players are supposed to fake out their opponents and the opponents have to guess if the players are lying or not.
