The Past is Important to Our Future Just about anything from the con- quering of the Aztecs to the assassina- tion attempt on President Reagan were the main topics of our Jr. High through Sr. High social studies discussions. Besides discussion in class, social studies was taught as a learning and a making experience. The junior high stu- dents had projects assigned to them by Mr. Huffman. These assignments con- sisted of making things such as scale model double winged airplanes, string art and Indian weaving. Mr. Thomas, the new Government teacher, also helped keep his students busy with working on tax forms, book work and telling the latest new jokes. Picture yourself seated at a German music concert in Cincinnati, or at a table of a German restaurant in Olden- burg, ready to embark on a taste bud's delight consisting of such dishes as steaming apple strudel!, a chocolate torte, and many other things that are hard even for the German student to pronounce. And where else would you find stu- dents writing children’s books in their studied language but in Mr. Hornbach's Spanish class. Even with all these exciting and inter- esting foreign languages to learn, strangely enough our English teachers Mr. Adams, Mr. Droege, Mr. Hornbach, and Mrs. Mix find that many of our stu- dents still need to concentrate on mas- tering the English language.
