¥E9G oe LAA A AA Ardrian Brown Se YP a Agnes Bucatao Tami Burch Keith Burdett Eric Bustos POLITICAL SPEAKERS ADD DIMENSIONS TO HISTORY Freshmen stepped back in time and studied past civilizations. They focused on inhabitants of the fertile Crescent, the Romans, and on the many geniuses who made the Renaissance. Juniors, on the other hand, emphasized U.S. History from the revolution to World War Il. Students reviewed the reformation of our society as the country changed; that review helped them understand how to- day’s world was created Guest speakers Superintendent Searles and Councilwoman Karin Lucas, gave seniors understanding of their government at both local and federal levels. At a later session, questions on current events particularly the invasion of Grenada and the role of the U.S. in Beirut were directed toward Con- gressman Stark. Visit to the municipal court gave government students a chance to witness the judicial system in action. Offenders ranged from shoplifters to drunken drivers 812 students filled both history and government classes which wasn’t unusual since history was required for freshmen and juniors; government was a man- datory course for those who wished to graduate. Even though history was required, most students looked at it as a learning experience. PAGE 21: BELOW RIGHT: Guest speaker Congressman Pete Stark tells his side of politics.

Through characters in literature, students shared experiences they may never have themselves. As readers, they stepped outside their nor- mal lives into the character's being portrayed. In addition, by developing a better usage of grammar they learned to communicate better. Each class focused on dif- ferent areas. Freshmen studied grammar, composi- tion and analyzed the Diary of Anne Frank, the romantic Romeo Juliet, and Greek mythology. Sophomores concentrated on World Literature. They enjoyed the stories of All Quiet on the Western Front, The Odyssey and Les Miserables. Even more was in store for Juniors and Seniors. Daily journals, frequent essays and sentence combinations were a part of Junior’s work-load. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s most famous novel, The Scarlet Letter, the gruesome tale of Moby Dick, The Crucible, based on the Salem witch hunt trials, and the works of Emerson and Thoreau rounded out Junior readings. However, the Seniors not only did journals and many essays some created son- nets styled after English and Italian writers. Admittedly English was difficult, but students learn- ed how to express their thoughts clearly and concisely. Maureen James Cranford Creeks ispi is Curley Danielsen
