Upperclassmen take field trips in government To help seniors understand their gov- ernment, the students were taken on field trips in San Antonio and in Austin, explained Ms. Virginia Ver Steeg, history department head. In the fall the government students went to the Bexar County jail and the courthouse. In the spring, they traveled to Austin to observe the legislature as well as visting the city council and com- missioner ' s court in San Antonio. It was important for the students to learn to pay attention to current events she explained, because this enabled them to understand what was going on throughout the nation. Ms. Ver Steeg explained that she enjoyed teaching government because, as the events around the nation changed, class activities changed.

Teachers host mock U.N. in social studies In order to give students experience in debating issues of world importance, the Social Studies department sponsored a mock United Nations m March, com- mented Ms, Virginia Ver Steeg, depart- ment chairman. A steering committee composed of students organized the event. They wrote the rules, procedures and resolutions. According to the committee, the purpose was to further the knowledge of our government as compared to other gov- ernments around the world . Students in other history classes learned other important aspects, Ms. Ver Steeg explained. History was important because students learned principles of government and their effect on historical events, she added. Of the history electives, sociology was the most popular because students eas- ily related to the course, she commented. Because students were more interested in studying people than facts, enrollment also increased in economics, free enter- prise and American cultures study, she added.
