Drawing On Their Experiences Art, Social Studies Students Explore Their World Map drawing skills, drawing inferences from historic events, and illus- trating a student ' s idea of a flower may seem unre- lated, but many related skills were used by social studies and art students. Each class period teachers led students to a more complete picture of the world they lived in. Miss Margarette Stan- field, art teacher in high school and junior higl Junior Roger Lopez works dili- gently on his art project. Junior Emily Fairchild is in deep thought while she works on trac- ing letters for a glass etching pro- ject in art. Tracing is one of my many talents, but you should see me with crayons, Emily Fairchild, Junior presented students with daily projects. Many of the students enrolled for an easy grade, and D ' Ann Hall, junior, said, The best thing about art was NO homework. Most teachers help the students by explaining to them what was expected. Marlin Handal, sopho- more, said Miss Stanfield would usually explain something about 8,000 times. History teacher John Kasten worked to help students understand how historical events were not just some old facts to memorize and forget im- mediately after a test. Stratego was a war game we used in his class to learn how to divide and conquer enemies, Kristi Kneupper said. Drawing parallels be- tween past and current events, Troy Oakes, taught government and economics by helping stu- dents see history does re- peat itself. They studied corporations, Constitu- tional amendments, struc- tures of corporations, how the Stock Market operates and how to become a suc- cessful entrepreneur. The money sounded in- teresting, Senior Kathy Castilleja said. 96 ART SOCIAL STUDIES

' It ' s So Trivial ' Rumors had it that one of the lab tables in the chemistry room was jinxed. It seemed that no lab attempted there could be finished without some type of mishap. Victims of the table, Tyler Mercer and Jerry Watts, sophomores, were partners in chemistry. We busted at least seven test tubes, blew up one, added to the previous burn and had no reactions in labs that everyone else had a reaction, Tyler said. Even with the jinxed ta- ble, science wasn ' t all that bad. It was the first year for Physics II, taught by Mr. Bill Long, and even though there was only one student, Greg Weiner, senior, he regarded it as a very valuable educational experience. I would rec- ommend it highly . He then asked, Will I have graduated by the time this is published? While walking through the halls seventh period, one could have heard Shut up echoing down the halls. When going to locate the source, the ease- dropper found himself outside Mr. Rod Arnold ' s Algebra I class. It was his first year to teach and his explanation for his shout- ing was Just look at them! Says Mr. Long Not all teachers had those problems. Mr. Long had been teaching school for six years, five of them at LHS, and he was reput- ed to be in control of his classroom at all times. It was Mr. Long ' s first year to have a student teacher. Ms. Sharon Tay- lor, a typing and math ma- jor, started teaching dur- ing the second semester. If she doesn ' t get scared out by bad student behav- ior and the teacher work- load, she will do o.k., Mr. Long said. Lonna Bell, sophomore, felt that Ms. Taylor is different from Mr. Long in that she does not tease me about my hickies. I like Mr. Long a lot, and Ms. Taylor will do just fine ... if she listens only to the MATHEMATICAL part of his ' lectures ' .
