Do we HAVE to read JULIUS CAESAR? Every year English teachers hear the same remarks from students as the teachers struggle to encourage reading. But this year at least has seen many students carrying contemporary paperbacks along with their worn copies of the classics. FAHRENHEIT 451, 1984, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, and LORD OF THE FLIES accompany Thoreau, Chaucer, and Shakespeare. Mrs. Campbell, sophomore English teacher, voices the feelings of many when she says, Languageand literature study present never-ending adventure to both teacher and students.

Mr. Robert Canter American History Mr. Alex Chrobak American History, Government, Economics Mr. William Ciccone American History Mr. Nick Marnejon Geography Mr. Clyde Moffett World Cultures Mrs. Elnora Provance World Cultures “History is only a con-fused heap of facts. Lord Chesterfield When was the fall of Constantinople? asks a sophomore studying for a world cultures test. Who knows? answers his friend, Who cares? Why should we learn about things that happened hundreds of years ago? They don’t have anything to do with us today. History and social studies teachers familiarize us with the Manifest Destiny, the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Emmancipation Proclamation to show us the workings of our government and to teach us how to run an effective government through our roles as active participants. Within a few years we, through our right to vote, will be expressing our opinions on how to run the government more effectively. As Walt Whitman said, ... the genius of the United States is not best or most in its executives or legislatures... but always most in the common people.
