Photo by Melissa Matthews Readin', 'riting, 'rithmetic Courses train 'World citizens' as society goes international, and citizenship demands understanding raduates are entering an ever-increasing internation- al society, and courses such as social studies and science were offered to help them prepare for their rolls as world citizens. American history teacher Mrs. Rena Knight explained that know- ledge of the past plays a big part in the preparation. History is the yesterday of mankind, she said. lt is man's memory, and without that memory there is no guide to tomorrow. lt is difficult to appreciate contributions made by those var- ious cultures without a background in history, Mrs. Knight added. We live in an economically and poli- tically interdependent world, and people in the United States need to recognize and appreciate the value of all cultures. Social studies teacher Mrs. Louise Camrnack stressed participa- tion in her American government classes. Her students attended inaugural ceremonies for Governor Bill Clinton, and she attempted to allow each student to spend a day as a page while the state legislature was in session. Science courses, too, prepared students for life beyond the block. While many were branded college prep, those who weren't planning science careers benefited also. Junior Travon Hardin, chem- istry student, said that science is a part of everyday life, and that chemical reaction takes place in a chore as simple as cooking a pot of beans. Genetics determines the way you lookg nutrition determines the way you feel, and scientific advan- cement determines the world in which you live. As senior Denise Clay put it, The genes you inherit as well as the jeans you fill are enhanced by chemical reactions. - By Michelle james HOT CHEMIST - Senior Carla Pumphrey heats a chemical in a water bath for safety measures.
