tudents Take ln history, the Lower Schoolers divided their time equally between work and fun. The young students learn- ed the importance and skills of note taking. The Fifth Graders enjoyed making 'cculture charts which taught them the history and customs of different civilizations. ln the Middle School, the Sixth Grade history course had close ties with English. The class touched on ancient history, city planning, and Transactional Analysis. The Seventh and Eighth Graders began their study of Ameri- can History. Students from AP History enlivened the course with lectures on specific events in American his- tory. ln the Upper School, the Freshmen studied World His- tory while the Sophomores made European History their thing. For the Juniors, it was American History with Dr. Dixon and the well-known term paper. Seniors took a trimester of Civics, and ten brave souls underwent the stresses of AP History in preparation for the AP History Exam. ,f . r , s, bf. tyvyp .. gEE :' a s +' a as t aarr aatr i e lr I ...Ma -f.- TQ I ' A D

And Awa They Go. L'What are the average SAT scores'?,' Hlill never get all of these applications filled outli' But, Mr. Channell, I really want to go to Radcliffe!M Such were the sounds in the Fall as Seniors applied for colleges. No one will ever forget Webster Deangs insistent question, HDoes your school require P.E.?l' or Liz Lambertls, HDO you have a bus to Harvard? People still wonder how many students believed that Taco Tech Institute really existed. Visiting college Hrepsw was the easy part. Next came conferences with lVlr. Channell, college visitations and SAT,s. Finally Seniors had to make decisions, request transcripts and complete Hhumongousw applications. After that, it was up to the gods. r l, , EE s E if V lbs -- A ' ' X g ,Nr ..
