if we .. . -, K A ff...-Q 1' 2 my 1 ., I it ii R 1' Histor W' repeats itself Social Studies was a class which gave 5 students a chance to learn about the past ' and present. Teachers made an effort to make each day of history interesting for all students. Some history teachers found dressing up in the time period they were studying effective for their students. Others found debates and class discussions to be educational. One teaching technique found especially interesting was that of Ann Johnston, world history teacher. Johnston said thatshe liked to make her students live in the time period thatthey were studying. Each student had two projects required for the year. The subject or time period that most interested the student was what his project was based on. Johnston found this course a very ...- important one for all Klein students because history is known to repeat itself. Johnston stated, everything we have has been taken from the past and built upon to the world's present situation. Et Junior Zack Zepesi demonstrates the primitive man far class.

Languages emphasized With more colleges requiring two years of a foreign language, Klein's foreign language department experienced an increase in student enrollment. Many student ac- tivities were planned to celebrate events such as the German Tricentennial in October and Foreign Language Week in March. The annual film festival and potluck supper was held in September. Students brought a variety of foods and dressed in clothing from many different countries. Not only was interest shown in ex- tracurricular activities, but students also participated in games, dialogues, and skits throughout the year during class. Students and teachers found that learning was something more than just tests and quizzes. Self-satisfaction was achieved by reaching out across land and ocean to learn of customs and traditions in other nations. S-an Adriana Mills explains the finer points of French to Michelle Ho.
