T ouch of Society Behavioral studies provide futuristic views Does why someone acts a certain way and how it affects one ' s society interest you? How about enrolling in Psychology or Sociology. Psychology is the study of human and animal behavior within a society. Sociology is the study of group life of human beings and the resulting social behavior. Another choice is one of the most popular classes — Street Law. Senior, Letty Ruiz said, Street Law is an interesting class where you read court cases to learn how certain crimes have affected today ' s court system. Students take these courses mainly because they plan to major in something related to the area in college; such as a clinical psychologist like senior Missy Wilson. They also thought the classes would be enlightening to learn about themselves and their friends and to un- derstand why they behave the way they do. Mr. Collins has his Street Law classes attention to them about criminal | This class does not require as much time as my math class, stated Anessa DeBey, junior, but Psychology does take quite a bit of time to learn all the different terms. The classes consist of a lot of class discussions and group projects. The dis- cussions deal with topics such as multiple personalities, abnormal behavior, and the effects it has on our culture. One group projea the Psychology classes did was meditate. Psychology, Sociology, and Street Law are not required courses, therefore, stu- dents are in these classes because they are interested in the subject and want to be there. The feeling of obligation is not in a class that you want to take. People are in there because they want to be and that is what makes the class fun. Story.

T he Cultural Touch Language study involves cultural approach French, German, Latin, Spanish — do any of these sound interesting to you! ' ' The foreign language department is full of activity. Some of the activities include International Night, Foreign Language Week, Fall Frolic, and Spring Fling. The fun never seems to end. And you get to learn a new language at the same time. A foreign language class does not have to be just another hour class. The clubs and honor societies reinforce what is learned in the classrooms by partic- ipating in local and state contests. The importance of studying a foreign language is sometimes overlooked. Se- nior Tammy Mutzig comments, Americans are one of the most self- centered populations. We do not seem to realize that there are other people and other countries out in the ' real world. ' By studying foreign languages we learn oth- er cultures and by learning other cultures, we can better understand other people and countries. The homework is not necessarily fun, but essential to understanding other countries, said one foreign language student. One advantage to taking a for- eign language class is that you can talk all you want, provided you talk in this specific language. Senior Tammy Mutzig plans to use her foreign language skills by joining the Foreign Service. And if I can prove my profiency in the language, 1 can start out at a pretty high status and a high salar ' . The foreign language department has a variety of things to get involved in, so what are you waiting for. Come join a foreign language class and m.ake an as- sertive effort to make a difference today. Students try to organize themselves before taking a test. Students welcome foreign officials with great respect. 18
