28 Today's Youth Creates Participating in mock elections, going to watch Richard Nixon deliver a campaign speech and having the classroom filled with CBS cameras are all a part of learning history and government at CHS. Students study from current events publica- tions, along with their history text, keeping up with the new as well as the old. Mr. Keeslar's varied collections as well as his robust enthusiasm for campaigns have caused many students to take more interest in government at both local and national levels. History classes discuss topics openly. Students wonder why Israel and Egypt cannot get along, why studying the past will help make a better future, and even why the U.S. is involved in the war in Viet Nam. Nobody can understand all the "whys", but we are trying. And that is what is important: To try and understand the world in which we live.
