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

Carmen Comes to Western . . Wha Hahpen? Imagine, trying to live in South America and pass Senior courses taught in Spanish . . . hard, huh? Well, Carmen Elise Holguin came to Western as an ex- change student from Bogota, Colombia. Confusin Ameri- can slang led to chuciling and blushing as Carmen began to adjust, but she caught on more quicklythan most! Although sometimes home- sick, she always could be seen smiling and talking vivacious- ly. It wasn't odd to see her sailing down the road on her bike, yelling at basketball games, or working away in the ibrary during lunch. Wha hahpen? When Carmen came to Western - something great Hahpen , that's what! Hestwood Debe se amor . . . Carmen sings softly for the Sweetheart Pageant. 34 EXCHANGE STUDENT -mit Smith A period in the library offers Wayne Tesh and Carmen Holguin a chance to practice a new language together.
