Students to participate in History Day projects

Suppose man had never discovered fire or invented the wheel? What is the potential of solar energy, of the lasar beam? From the ancient past to as far in the future as their imaginations will carry them, Indiana junior and senior high school students will consider all aspects of energy and its role in history to mark History Day ’7B. History Day '7B in Indiana will culminate next April 22 when the state contest is held on the Indiana University Bloomington campus. Winners in five categories on both junior and senior levels will advance to regional competition against contestants in Ohio and Kentucky in Cincinnati, May 13. "Students should be encouraged to let their imaginations soar,” said C. Frederick Risinger, state director of History Day ’7B and I.U.’s coordinator for school social studies since 1973. "They should see energy in all its contexts—technological, social and cultural. For instance, coal mining subjects may be on anything from new mining technologies to labor violence, unionization or the development of company towns.” The students will advance to the state finals through a series of contests in 11 districts, roughly the same as Indiana’s Congressional districts. Up to 10 percent of the students who enter a district contest may be invited to the state finals. The theme of History Day ’7B, “Energy: Its Impact on History,” was suggested by Richard Kirkendall, I.U. history professor and executive secretary of the Organization of American Historians, based on the I.U. Bloomington campus. “The American way of life, with economic abundance as one of its major characteristics, is dependent upon a plentiful supply of energy,” Kirkendall said. “Thus, the possibility of an energy shortage is a matter of profound significance. A shortage of energy would force us to develop a way of life very different from the one we have known.” For purposes of History Day 78, grades 7, 8 and 9 are in the junior division and grades 10, 11 and 12 are in the senior division. Contest categories (the same in both divisions) are historical paper, individual project, group project, individual performance and group performance. A teachers’ guide, available free to all social studies teachers and students in the state, indicates the wide open aspects of the competition. A few of the ideas suggested: Historical papers can be factual or fictional accounts, or even epic poems based on fact. Subject matter may range from the importance of the horse on the American frontier to a discussion of famous railway strikes, the impact of radio and-or television on the American family or “autobiographical” essays by Morse, Edison and Bell on their most famous inventions. Projects might include displays, relief maps, charts or models. Models might be of sailing ships, simple telegraph keys or equipment used by coal miners. Projects might also include maps and charts used bv 17th century merchant ships, displays of electrical business machines, miniature models of earlv automobiles, or sketches, diagrams and photos of atomic energy tacimies. The teachers’ guide said the performance category is the most difficult, and usually has less competition. Possible performances include a dramatic re-creation of a day in the life of a Pony Express rider, the singing of sailing songs or coal miners' folktunes, mock interviews with such historical personalities as John D. Rockfeller, Charles Lindbergh or Billy Mitchell, or the re-creation of famous radio broadcasts, such as President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Fireside Chats,” election returns or the crash of the Hindenburg. History Day 78 is being funded in Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio by the National Endowment for the Humanities and is sponsored by the Organization of American Historians. It is being co-sponsored in Indiana by
