We The People ugh! This was the com- mon response heard from Advanced Placement CA.P.J students everywhere. Whether A.P. American History for juniors or A.P. Government for seniors, it mattered little. Mr. Wolfe's crushing tests and comprehensive notes brought a new meaning to the word tough. Junior Kim Loring proclaimed On the days you take notes, you can not do anything else for the rest of the day because your hand is in a perpetual crampf' You are now probably wonder- ing what went on in these classes. A.P. American History in- volved. . . well, . . .American His- tory. The first semester spanne from the early settlers to recoi struction. Second semester Wei from there up to Vietnam. A.l Government followed along sim lar lines, tracing from the Revoll tion to recent governmental pol cies. Still you question what make these classes so special? Their fo: mats seem identical to regulz classes.

Many of these students then re- ceived college credit. Besides A.P. classes, other in- teresting subjects were offered. Mr. Reifenrath, for instance, taught the very popular Criminal Law class. Here students learned how the judicial system worked and even participated in little mock trials. Junior Doug Wasbot- ten said, It was a fun class. We had guest speakers every other day. One such speaker was an ex- convict, Bill Owens. Owens not only spoke to the classes but held a question and answer at both lunch hours. Psychology and soci- ology were also offered. Mrs.Neidner taught students about man's behavior. Classes were not the only thing offered in the Social Science de- partment. Mr. Flint offered stu- dents a chance to go to Girls and Boys state. This summer's par- ticipants were Patty Marby, Kim Littlefield, Jon Thomas, Chris Buskirk, Dean Sharenow and Scott Bernstein. The purpose of girls and boys state is to teach high school students how govern- ment works on state levels. Senior Jon Thomas felt it was, an all around governmental experience with party benefits. Senior Patty Marby thought it was, fabulous, wonderful, stimulating, exciting, motivating, nerve wracking, emo- tional, and the best experience I have ever had in my life, quite se- riouslylw Yet, still another interesting sideline offered was Close-Up. Students went to the capital for one week to attend seminars, meet state representatives, sight see, and make friends. Mr. Wil- liamson was in charge of this yearis trip. Well, no matter which it was, psychology, law, government, or history, we the people certainly were fortunate to have such a va- riety of classes.
