History Scanned World Events The Social Studies department worked hard to give their students a modernistic view of our world today and in the past. By frequently using video-tapes and by al- lowing the students to participate in cer- tain learning projects, the teachers at- tempted to give their pupils a broader scope of the social world and its history. One project staged by Seniors was a mock presidential election convention complete with political parties, platforms, and the various candidates. The seventh graders also had a major project called Inter- national Day. Each student dressed in the traditional costume of a specific country of the world and also brought a traditional dish of that country. The new teachers were Debbie Patrick, who taught seventh grade geography and tenth grade world history, and Phil Ham- brick, Civics and Mississippi history.
