Given the opportunity to choose the course they wanted, most students were involved in changing teachers. Some teachers showed filmstrips or slides, hosted guest speakers and tested students over the material taught during the week, while others initiated games and group discussions. Teachers also had a choice as to the subjects they wished to teach. Mr. Jim Ware used experiences he had on a recent trip to Russia as a basis for discus- sions featuring the Soviet Union. The South African majority rule conflict was taught by Mr. Terry Goodwin, while the Arab and Jew conflict was taught by Mr. Dennis Chaloupka. Mr. Donald Edwards discussed Cities in Transition, while Miss Judy Kellow's class studied problems existing in China. On a more per- sonal level, Miss Shirley Cook discussed the participation and cooperation required when people or nations congregate in groups. Mrs. Sue Cleveland, Mrs. Charlene Poole and Mr. Larry Arnhold each taught a course entitled Food, Population and Your Future which dealt with the prospect of starvation and possible foods for the future. Mr. Noe Boghs and Mrs. Cathryn Mabry taught the subject of Roots, which explained to the students how to trace their fam- ily trees. The main purpose of these courses, Mrs. Sue Cleveland, coordinator of the project said, was to allow a different environment for the students for a week, and to provide insight into present and future world problems. A. Junior Craig Barclay listens while Mr. and Mrs. Jim Ware tell about the experiences they encountered on their recent trip to Russia. Juniors Eladio Diaz, Ross Cowart and Mark Striedel examine some of the souvenirs they brought back. CLASSES I PAGE 319
