Foreign studies Culture, geography and history are all part of learning a foreign language at BHS. I love learning 'other languages because you learn about a different culture, stated Spanish ll student Lisa Giliottl, a senior. We learned about the history of Puerto Rico and its culture through slides, explained sophomore Chris Price about Ms. Sharon Hiner's Spanish ll class. When we learn Latin, we also learn Ftoman history, Roman culture, and learn to appreciate it, commented senior Janice Brown. ln the French classes to help learn about the people, Aude Briard of France talked to the students in September. She would answer questions and talk about being a teenager in France, explained junior Cari Nelson. To enrich their German studies, Miss Debbie Medlin's classes attended Novemberfest in Ft. Worth. Students from over 30 high schools participated in contests including culture, cooking, music and sports. lt was a blast! remarked junior Eric Floberson. Our soccer team called itself the Berlin Wall Climbing Team and everyone painted their hair blue, he concluded. - Laurie Margulies!Masae Koezuka Languages I include culture WW ,mf Listening to tapes in Mrs. Virginia Horner's French class, sophomore Renee Dobrott concentrates on the book while junior Tracee Roach is distracted.

SOCIAL STUDIES. FJZILZZZSG Euthanasia, abortion, nuclear energy, gun control and genetic engineering are all topics which students must deal with in coach Jim Walther's Advanced Social Science Problems class. Communication of in- dividual ideas is stressed through for- mal debates as well as informal discussions. I try to stress that no person's beliefs are wrong just because they are different from someone else's, said Walther. Sharing ideas is important in all social science classes. Peoples' attitudes change when they get the chance to really listen to the other side of the issue, said senior Mark Toles. I love ASSP and l'm hav- ing a great time. The people in the class who do not like it are definitely in the minority. Other social studies students study the past rather than the future in the Advanced Placement European and American History classes. Taught on a college level, the classes are more detailed than regular history classes. I love history because I get to tell all the stories that make history in- teresting. lt's like a soap opera, ex- plained Ms. Mary Helen Jones, who also teaches Art and Music History. Social Studies Through lectures, slides and field trips, A8 MH students study the arts through the ages. On Nov. 11, the class attended Flomeo and Juliette and on Dec. 8 they visited the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, All I can say is A8tMH is fabulous! said junior Justine Putnam. In regular world history, geography and American government classes, students participate in such activities as mock legislative games and trials and listen to guest speakers. My goal is to send out thinkers from this class and not walking govern- ment encyclopediasf' said Walther. - Suzanne Hartsell In Coach Walther's Advanced Social Science Problems class senior Nancy Bonner attempts to explain to a mum senior Bill Shaw how to build a structure in a communication game I I
