SOCIAL STUDIES STAFF For the sixth consecutive year, Mr. Scott Hill and Mr. Bob Good teamed up to head the social studies department. It was Mr. Good's sixth year, while veteran Mr. Hill celebrated his tenth year at SHS. We're getting to be an institution around here, Mr. Hill said of himself and Mr. Good. Mr.Hill's biggest responsibility was teaching U.S. history, a required course for juniors. He also taught European history, Kansas history, and psychology. I enjoy teaching psychology the most, he said, but I think all my subjects are equally important. Mr. Good believes his biggest responsibility is teaching government, a required subject for seniors. It really surprises me that students don't know know much about our system of government, he said. But I'm used to it. I see my job as teaching the basics. Mr. Good also taught world affairs, sociology, and economics, besides being responsible for the yearbook. GROWS UP I Mr. Hill attended Emporia State U. and received B.S. and M.S. degrees. His current pastimes include refinishing furniture and selling insurance. Mr. Good graduated from Kansas State U. and received a B.S. degree in Secondary Education.

Math Teacher In Fourth The math department was fortunate to have Mr. Lewis Johnson return for his 31st year. Mr. Johnson, who received his B.S. at Bethany, started teaching music here in 1950. This year he taught Algebra I and II, advanced math, and geometry. He was joined for the third year by Mr. Randy Hall. Mr. Hall received his B.S. degree in education at Kansas State after graduation from S.H.S., where he studied under Mr. Johnson. Mr. Haul taught Algebra I and II, general math and computer programming. Mr. Hall also added an advanced computer class and a new printer for the computer department. When asked about students of the past compared to those of today, Mr. Johnson said, Students don't make much of a change from year to year. Just new inventions and a new way of life has changed students' study habits and school life. Top: Pam Williams writes out her program before typing it into the computer. 18
