Students Learn How System Works CIVICS CLASS STUDIES PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM Mr. Kerry Quilhaugh's Civics class was kept busy studying about the United States' presidential system from the textbook. The seniors al- so did reports on different types of crimes and why they are caused. Most of the information used was gathered from the daily newspapers that the class received. United States history was taught by Mr. Glenn Gillespie. He gave the students lots of tests over different countries of the world. Weekly tests were given over chapters in the textbook. Geo- graphy class also studied different countries. Mr. Steve Barrett's English classes, both senior and sophomore, read books and typed reports on topics of their choice. The tenth grade English class learned the correct way to write paragraphs in Mr. Steve Barrett's class. Other English classes, such as the Seniors, spent their time doing book reports. The 9th grade Social Studies class studied the continents and the countries in the world. Civics was reading newspapers and learning the constitution and learning the politics of the past, present and future.
