ABOVE: Cheryl Gadd and Terri Poling wait for their introduction to social studies class to start. RIGHT: Tom Klepper and Mike Smith look on as Nlr. John Feyedelem lectures to an American history class. One of the prime items which occurred in history classes this year were the conventions and election which the senior government class held. Three parties contributed to the election, the Nationalist, the Federalist, and the American Peoples Party KAPPJ. The John Cooke-John Zadell ticket took honors for the APP when they made an overwhelming vic- tory on November 7 against their opponents, Richard Peabody, Federalist, and Ralph O'Hara, Nationalist, winning the election by over 100 votes. Nlr. Richard Taylor, new on the faculty, assisted lVlr. John Feyedelem on this project. lVlr. Taylor also taught world history, civics, and psychology and sociology. Miss Phyllis Frost taught introduction to social studies. Group discussions were the major source of teachings there. She hoped the students learned more from the discussions than from lecturing. Seniors used NEWSWEEK magazine as one of their textbooks throughout the year.
