Creative Teachers Stimulate Classes .Let ' s face it: school can become routine and dull. Some teachers attempted to relieve the boredom by showing videotapes or having free days, but the best of the teaching staff put out the extra effort to come up with creative, stimulating, out-of-the- ordinary assignmen . The social science departmeif presented a few of these fun lessons. You may have seen some of the World History students wandering through the halls in their togas, costumes for the Greek-Roman debates. The Advanced Placement students-in. Mr. Hoover ' s Amerilj government class spent ti outside of class working on i political campaign of t choice. Teppi Hawkins, Eil Warren and Kim D ' Arcy chose to work for San Clemente City Council candidate Morrie Hans ' n Guest lectures were a popu way to change the scenery in the classroom. Mr. Weagley invited an immigration patrol officer, a Beyond War speaker, a Fashion ; Institute merchandiser, a Peace Corps volunteer and a travel ; agent to give their views aod answer questions. Od memorable speakers include) psychic in Mr. Jenkins ' psycholog eye doctor in Ms. Bethke ' s anatom fighter pilot in Mr. Quirk ' s physics class and judge in Mr. Morgan ' s A.P. Language class. i The science department also sponsored a variety of activities, from decorating cakes to look like cells (at various stages of cell division) to the disection of fetal pigs. This department was also well known for its fun and educational field trips, covered on pages 68 and 69. Another event that attracted a lot of attention was the Renaissance Faire in January. Sponsored by the accelerated sophomore English classes and some of the sophomore history classes, the event featured students clad in fifteenth century English costumes, ranging from lowly peasants to Queen Elizabeth herself, who ■ participated in events such as displays of archery, juggling and dancing, puppet shows, a feast; and an unexpected argument between Queen Elizabeth and her cousin Mary, Queen of Scots. Ms. Raub, Ms. Bumatay and Ms. Aroian all pronounced the fair an enormous success. The food at the Renaissance Faire was a true example of those exciting times. — Kenny Ferguson
