Pupils view present, study past history With Lt. Col. John Glenn's orbital flight Febru- ary 20, all students viewed on television a major event of history in the making. In regular classwork stu- dents took part in diverse studies. In senior government classes Mr. Sam Nan intro- duced such new projects as filling out income tax re- turns. Economics students, taught by Mr. Harley Camp- bell, pretended to buy stocks and kept tabulation on the rise and fail of the market. World history students with Mr. Tony Zuppe kept tab on the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Front and center. was again a call familiar to American history students in Mr. Grant Walls' classes. Poise in reciting was taught along with history as stu- dents memorized historical selections like Columbus and the Gettysburg Address. Mrs. Catherine Rogers' eighth graders studied Ohio history from the Indians to the present. They also leamed how to be good citizens. Seventh graders studied topography and industries in the countries of the world in Mr. Howard Wheeler's geography classes. '77 MR. JACOB MAAS MR.
