Electives attract student Solving problems and becoming aware were the main concerns of students enrolled inthe Psychology, Sociology, Advanced Social SUGHCQ Problems tASSPJ and Bible classes. These were four elective courses offered by the Social Studies Department for upperclassmen only. The subjects of mental health, social problems, mental illness and death were a few well-discussed sociology topics. The list of guest speakers included a funeral director, a probation officer, marriage and family counselors, police officers and an FBI agent. Sociology student Barbee Wilson said, We had very interesting discussions. Also, we did oral reports and research papers on the topics of our choice. Sociology was a quarter course. Bible students studied ancient history and the origins of the jewish and Christian faiths. Study of both the Old and New Testament was carried out, with each class lasting a quarter, To help the students fully enjoy and Xt understand Bible, teacher Tom Lewis put together skits and arranged speakers for the class. Bible class gave many the chance to understand religion better. A psycholgoy course provided a change of pace. Although many might have taken it to obtain an easy-A, most signed up for the class either to see what psychology was really like or just to join in the discussions. ASSP gave students a chance to discover and understand their immediate surroundings. Students talked with each other about current social problems and happenings and the latest news articles. ASSP student Donna Baker said, We discussed current events and stuff that takes place all over the world, mostly just the United States, though. We had projects each quarter. We each picked a research topic. We either wrote a report or got a speaker. Some of the speakers included rape officers, child welfare speakers and Officer Chuck Brawner and Romel. fi N--H.
