Social Studies Class Gives Students H oney's Worth' Bob Kastelic In my students' eyes, I see myseU as a strict disclipinarian, giving all students theirfull money 's worth with afull dose of subject matter. Irun a tight ship, they get a good dose of subject matter in a very con- trolled environment, said Miss Gail Nel- son, the Social Studies Department head. Miss Nelson has been teaching for nineteen years and has been part of Saguaro since it began in 1966. My job is to make my department run smoothly, to keep things from becoming monumental problems, and to make it a cohesive unit aimingfor the same goals, said Miss Nelson. Students at this school learn to get along with other people, learn flexibility, and how to get along with other viewpoints. I think the total outcome is a well-rounded individual. Miss Gail Nelson, Social Studies Department head, discusses the geography of Africa in one of her classes. 140 Social Studies

Mr. Smith has start- ed many new programs here at Saguaro, among them, the INVEST Program. INVEST was an insurance simulation than was as real as we can make it with out using money. This program has proved to be a great success at school. Mr. Smith, his wife, and his two children were all involved in school. His children both went to school while his wife taught Teaching is a nice advantage because we. all are in and out of school at the same. time, commented Mr. Smith.
