Social Studies History in the Making History was in the making this election year, and D. H. S. students got into the action by casting their votes at the school “polls.” Discussion in class helped everyone understand how the election proceedures work. World History and Economics- Sociology students had the opportunity to watch the Apollo VIII “splash down” by way of television. They also learned about the stability of their nation’s finances and the large-scale businesses in the U.S. Mr. Hemphill stressed the importance of filling out a correct income tax form. This information was especially bene¬ ficial for many of the students who work part time. Through the use of visual aids, films, and records, U.S. History was expressed more clearly. For many juniors, turning in term papers was the biggest event of the year and quite a relief for everyone. Sociology class came alive when world problems as poverty and sickness were discussed openly among students, and as answers were sought. In U.S. History, Mrs. Sutton lectures on the events leading up to the Civil War. Glenda Sigmon, Denise Epley, Ronald Stephens, and Joel Sigmon drew this poster for a history project. Mr. Hemphill encourages his classes to discuss openly matters of local, state, and national government. Mixon FOB wm fcfe t «rox» NIX Srxmssm
