Guest Speakers, Field Trips Bring History to Life Freshman stepped back in time into ancient world history. Their subjects ranged from Cro-magnon men to the Renaissance rebirth of art and literature and the revolutionary days of the eighteenth centrury. Juniors focused on U.S. History. Ed Winberg’s s students came on strong with “Colonial Life’ reports. Maybe seniors didn’t vote, but at least they learned something about the law through trips every Wednesday to Municipal Court. Twenty-nine classes of History and Government were offered this year. History was mandatory for Freshmen and Juniors. Seniors couldn't graduate without Government. Lectures required notes, notes were the basic for essays and even graded notebooks! The art of writing a term paper was also taught in every History Class. The gross laws of Hammurabi, kept the attention of most Freshmen. They included whacking off parts of the body to develop man’s sense of law and order. Juniors on the other hand fell into historical politcal traps, when they simulated the Constitutional Conven- tion and argued over how to equally represent all citizens. Every Senior learned to take notes on the “pearls of wisdom” from guest speakers like the Vice- Mayor, Rich Sherratt, and the Current City-Manager, Bruce Rupp. TOP LEFT: SEAN Dexter seeks a little help during a quiz in Mr. Kings’s World History class: MIDDLE LEFT: The team of Suzy Edwards, Marla Miyashiro, Caroline Yao and Bill Garrison wait to hear if they answered the question correct- ly in the Current Events Bee.

Limit of a Function Hardest Math Concept in Student Learning The fact that we live in a world of numbers was clearly illustrated by the enrollment in math. Of the 1116 students at Encinal, 772 of these were ina math class. One nice thing about the math depart- ment was that all full time mathematicians taught some form of advanced math; either algebra or geometry. Our students filled the classes to capacity. Out of curiosity the Horizon asked our resident mathematicians what exactly was the easiest and the hardest concept for students to grasp. The answer was suprising. Trig functions were easiest for students to pick up and understand although, Ed Boughton, speaking for the math department, said no one knew why they were so easy for most studnets. On the other hand the hardest concept w was found in math analysis; it was the limit of a oe function. All math students were attempting to master math because they knew their futures depended on a solid math background. RIGHT: BRIDGET MOSELY gives a big smile as she gets a problem on her test.
