Making History From the seventh grade to graduation, Hauser students are subjected to history in a variety of ways. Starting with basic history in junior high and proceeding through Government during their Senior year. Mr. Gerry Gividen, one of the junior high History teachers, resigned after eleven and one half years of teaching. He was replaced by Mr. James Stewart, who previously taught at Clinton Central and several other schools. During their sophomore year, students are given the option to take World History. This class is taught by Mr. Mike Brock. Unlike earlier years of history, the students become more involved by taking part in plays and simulation games. Juniors are required to take U.S. History which is taught by Mr. Gary Hamner. This class differs from other history classes because it studies only American history as compared to other general history classes. The last but still important class is required for Seniors to take. This class is Government Psychology. Mr. Mike Brock, the teacher of this course, associates with all Seniors throughout the year. By choice or by requirement students study the history of different lands. Taught by several teachers, history is explored throughout high school. A: Lonnie Williams helps with a job more easily done by Lance Roberts in turning a map around in Government. B: Mr. Hamner points out some details on a U.S. History assignment to Donna Michael. 16 History

The Plus and Minuses of Math Approximately 230 senior high students chose to undertake the challenge of mathematics. This does not include the junior high students who battled with their required Math courses. The classes encountered and completed several new experiences, introduced to them by their teachers. Mr. Bill Thayer, of Irwin Union Bank, discussed checking accounts and savings plans with Mrs. Lois Bennett's Business Math students. Miss Agnes King was a first year teacher at Hauser and taught junior high Math. She said, My classes worked with basics and puzzles for a little extra fun. Mr. Tom Canwright, also a new teacher, said his classes were challenging and that one class was beating him at his own game of brain teasers. Mr. Joe Burney had an eighth grade class that learned about banking along with their basics. Mr. Mike Percifield's General Math class had a special project to work on. It consisted of a collection of bills to total up. All in all, the plus and minuses of the teachers, have brought Mathematics to a new height. E: Barry Trotter directs his attention to the task of getting his homework done in Algebra I. F: Mrs. Bennett begins Geometry class by passing out semester tests to the students. Mathematics 15
