Body:	<i>Don't remember how I got into this class, but it was called Humanities, if I recall correctly, and co-taught by Mr. Benjamin and Mr. Randall. We studied periods in world history--European and American history, actually--with an integration of historical events, culture, and the arts. I had never heard of an interdisciplinary approach to knowledge acquisition before, had certainly never experienced it, and found that class to be the first intellectually-stimulating experience of my entire public education 'career.' To this day I draw on that learning experience, such as when I see shrubbery pruned into spheres (influence from the Rococco period) or circular tables draped to the floor to completely cover the table legs (Victorian Age) or the distinct exterior decoration on various downtown Phoenix historic buildings (Art Deco). Forever grateful to the person(s) who thought up that class, to the administration that approved it, and to the enthusiasm and dedication of Mr. Benjamin and Mr. Randall in the teaching of it. Am interested in hearing thoughts from others of you all who also took what I think was a ground-breaking high school course.</i> *
