Shelbyville High School - Squib Yearbook (Shelbyville, IN)

Page 16 text:

The history department of our school encompasses seven semesters of work: world history in the sophomore year, American history in the junior year, and a choice of govern- ment, economics, or American problems in the senior year. Since 1960 was a national election year, all history classes voted for national, state, and local candidates on official ballots. Beforehand, a certain amount of time was spent on the study of electionsg this study is required by law during election years. The main purpose of our history department is to teach the fundamentals of history and its problems to students at the high school level. By Writing term papers, making book reports, hearing lectures, participating in informative dis- cussions, Watching films, and working on special projects, pupils earned credits in history classes. Irene Simpson and Loren Hemingway teach world history, Ray Hinshaw and Robert Clapp are the American history teachers, Ronald Abrell instructs the government and economics classes, and Frank Barnes teaches American problems.

GGRESTLESS NATIVESW RESPOND TO FOOD CALLS The Concessionaires, sponsored by the Squibfs business staff, is a group of thirty senior boys and girls who hawked their wares at basketball games in the Paul Cross Gym. Approximately one third of the cost of producing the 1961 Squib was secured by these hard-working seniors. Pretty girls, dressed in white blouses, black skirts, and yellow aprons, and good-looking boys, clad in gray laboratory- type aprons, sold hot popcorn, cold cokes, and cooling ice cream to eager spectators. To help increase sales this year, the organization, under the management of Oren Olinger, operated two new stands-one in the top northeast corner and one in the upper northwest corner of the gym- nasium. These new stands helped appreciably in raising the necessary additional funds for the Squib. The easily accessible locations were also very con- venient for the people who didnit want to fight their way through the great massesv for refresh- ments.

Franklin In its fourth year of existence at S. H. S., the advanced American history class is composed of twenty members who are chosen on the basis of achievement test scores taken at the beginning of thc second semester and on the previous semester's work. Under the direction of Ray Hinshaw, junior history in- structor, this class meets during the third period and follows a different routine than the regular class. These special students cover the textbooks and take exams over the book, but they also do extra reading and research. Term papers, discussion questions, essay exams, special achievement tests, and an achievement exam over the entire American history course are some of the special projects participated in by these students. A new method of teaching, that of television, was in- augurated in this class. Television teaching, in the experi- mental stage yet at S. H. S., was used intermittently and in combination with the regular study routine.
