Criticdl flrinkin by Sandy Berndsen I feel that the history teachers have put forth the best effort to teach us, the students, about our American heritage, stated Gar- rette Cook. The Social Science department this year has definitely showed elite qualities. These teachers are always confident in their classes and have much enthusiasm about their subjects. The dedication to their stu- dents has shown up this year in incorporating the historical facts to develop writing skills. As Mr. Peterson, the department chairman, stated, Social Science is the best for combin- ing the writing skills of English with the sub- ject matter of History, Civics, Economics, and Psychology. Also our area develops criti- cal thinking skills for citizen awareness. Our teachers are the best for applying concrete information by using all learning skills. The teachers felt that the students retain more through writing. Yes, the student did have to learn the facts, but they didn't have to memo- rize them out of the book. Even though the students learned more, the teachers had to do twice the work due to the fact that the classes have increased in size. Since educa- tion depends on discussion, students need to participate in the classroom. If the classroom is overfilled, this cannot be accomplished, but in the long run students did learn to write, make their grade, and become educated. D. Neff, E. Baker, N. Bob, M. Fulwiler, C.

Control ing Me System by Danielle Pagnini You saw them everyday whether roaming the halls of Poway High asking students for hall passes or patroling the traffic on Titan Way. They were there. Yes, they were our Campus Supervisors. They kept a broad overview of what was happening everyday on campus by their walkie talkies. This new addition was added in an attempt to keep the students in line. These were just one example of some of the people who kept our school running properly. Along with Campus Supervisors, we had assistants to help out teachers. Not only did they help the teachers but they also were able to help students when needed. Some students found them very helpful and were very grateful when they were there. With all of these wonderful people, we also have our secretaries. Our secretaries an- swered phones and typed, but they also dealt with students and their problems all day long. With all of this work to do, one could say it was true dedication that kept these people going. Their time, effort, and work certainly paid off. As Jane Hancock stated, I have seen a lot change, and it's all for the better. Say Cheesefi smiled the cafeteria workers. Mrs Nobriga steadily works on the library cards. Assistants 313
