Mrs :FI JE QTEHEQGK: AP -JG Llll wavrzl EWS English, ffiililmlmlan And Whether you like English or not, you have to have it! Every student must have four years of this course to graduate. So - what is it that a student has to do in English? Well, you must read books, write papers, and learn grammar. Not so hard you say. For the seniors, however, the writing of pa- pers means trouble. They don't write just any kind of paper. They have to write a term paper, which, as Leah McGinnis said, Has made my life a living nightmare. The English Department of East Gaston keeps each course interesting by having each course read books from different time periods and different countries. English isn't the only lan- guage offered at East Gaston. We also have Espanol, Fran- cais, and Deutsch. These classes teach not only about the grammar of each lan- guage, but also about the cul- ture of the countries where each language is spoken. Mrs. Lambert's class doesn't just learn German grammar. Her students learn about the country also.

There are also courses in Psychology and Sociology. Each course in the Social Studies Department deals with people in one way or an- other. All of the histories Ccurrent events includedl deal with people in the past or present. They tell of how our countries were founded, their way of life, their lan- guages - their cultures. A group in Mrs. Tedder's 6th period is going through the pa- per. They are going to discuss the events of the day later in class. Psychology and Sociology deal with people's behavior and attitude. As a whole, the Social Studies Department deals with people and teaches about people. It helps to pre- pare us for our future lives.
