ENC-FLISHXSOCIAL STUDIES ENGLISH TEACHES HISTORY If you heard students mumbling something about 'Once upon a midnight dreary...' or 'There are strange things done in the midnight sun. . .' chances are pretty good they were freshmen work- ing on English assignments , says Mrs. Donna Pluth. Meanwhile her sophomores ask, What should we write about today, Mrs. PIuth'? as they searched for creative ideas to fill their daily journals. Ms. Sue Churnside teaches the junior and senior English classes. They consist of everything -from the basics of general English to the more critical College Preparatory classes. The emphasis in general classes was reading literature, writing compositions, and learning grammatical skills, where as, junior col- lege bound students studied a more critical ap- proach to American literature. Their next step, senior College Prep, is a more difficult study of English literature. This involves a sequential progression from the medieval period fo that of modern day. Ms. Churnside also teaches the journalism class which is responsible for the publication ot the school newspa- per, The Flying Eagle. The U.S. History classes were shared this year by Mr. Dave Shelby and Mr. John Partanen. The Continen- tal Congress came to life as each student played the roles of 'famous dignitaries such as George Washing- ton, Ben Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson. The role playing activity taught the students how hard it really was to vote on and carry out laws of the United States Constitution. Mr. Partanen also teaches World Geography, Gener- al Math, and behind the wheel training Drivers' Education. Students were taught what the real world is all about in Mr. Shelby and Mrs. Beelarts, Personal Finance class. Budgeting, renting, banking, credit, buying a house, furniture, marriage, the cost of having a baby, and divorce, were studied by the not so eager seniors.
