Eve Rallings and Steve Bell attended Governor's School in the Summer of '71. For seven weeks Eve studied En- glish, and Steve, Social Studies. Both studied Philosophy and and Psychology, too. Governor's School was held on the campus of Salem Col- Lindley lege, with approximately 370 students attending. ln between the weekly con- certs, guest speakers, and daily classes, students found time to explore new ideas and make new friends. All in all, it was quite an experience, and one which neither Eve nor Steve will soon forget.

Something Old- Something New- M l Students had a diverse choice of elective courses in Social Studies, except for ju- niors who had to take U.S. History. Family Living, offered as a Social Studies elective, dealt mainly with the individual teen, his problems, friends, and dating habits. To top .it all, Mr. Battle, a male bache- lor, taught the class. Men's Lib? American Cultures, another Social Studies elective, was also taught by Mr. Battle. tHe gets around!! The class studied minority groups, their history and culture. Feelings some- times proved to be biased, but through open discussion and debates, issues were set- tled fairly. World Geography was main- ly concerned with man - his culture, economics, and en- vironment. Late nights of studying and cramming for tests, along with preparin maps and debates - Worlg Cieograph became one more Social Stucly. World History came to be as shocking as the events that made it. A switch in teachers after first semester, made a confusing class more confus- ing. Current events, note- ta ing, short reports, and speakers combined to make World History. U.S. History was entered with mixed feelings. Not quite knowing what to expect Kaf- ter hearing all the wild rumors from the Seniors! luniors soon developed their own attitudes. With a variation of work days , library days , and two student teachers tone of whom gave up the profession! along with Mr. Robinson's Lokes, an atrocious diet of airy bologna sandwiches and Pepsi, U.S. History will always be remembered. SOCIAL STUDIES Fun! Fun! Fun! Notes in Family Living. Mr. Battle comments, No, Mt. Vernon is not in Talk! Talk! Talk! the thoughts of Clyde Lindsey. China! Www iv 4
