Freud identified the first stage of personality development as the oral stage. A baby communicates his needs and desires by biting or yell- ing. If an adult tends to chew gum, chew his arm or grab onto things, he may have failed to pass through the oral stage. He may have been taken off breast feeding too early. Gum chewers take notes Can I see my grade? A conversation be between junior Julie Berman and Mr. Car- roll demonstrates RHS's excellent student- teacher rapport.

This is one of the many reasons why students such as Jane Lowenthal consider behavior their favorite subject. The sexual stuff was fun, says Jane. Students discuss sex roles and the sexual revolution, frequently disa- greeing with each other. Differences of opinion create heated discussions because, as Richard Himelfarb com- 56!Social studies ments, There are no black and white answers. A major unit concentrates on cur- rent personality theory. Students study the proposer of the first psy- choanalytical theory of personality, Sigmund Freud, who identified the five psychosexual stages in child- hood personality development, Erik Erikson, who in contrast believed that personality continues to develop throughout one's lifetime, and Erich Fromm, who suggested that culture is the major shaper of personality. Natalie Houchen finds this unit interesting: I started to analyze my- self. Other activities include IQ testing, doodle analysis and biorhythm charting. All of these activities help stu- dents understand the way people are, says Kim Majesky. This inter- est in people's actions has not only made human behavior one of the most popular courses in RHS, but also has made psychology the most popular major in college.

Mr. Carson and another former in- structor, Ann Klingaman, started teaching ecology at Randallstown eight years ago. It was the first such program in Baltimore County high schools. ,v . - M 3911 if ff' I
