Students explore history through Living Museum BY LAYLA FARMER [HE CHRONIC! I Amelia Earhart, Jackie Joyne-r Kersee. George H.W. Bush and Martin Luther King Jr. came together like never before at Forsyth Academy last Thursday. Students donned cos tumes and used props to trail vio r m thcmsc Ives into some of the most 'famous people of the past three cen turies for the school's annual Living Museum program. The 62 fifth-graders also memorized . brief speeches, about their history-maker, which they recited whenever museum visitors - parents, teachers and fellow students - prompted them to. "I invented the most deli cious chocolate bar in the world," said Milton Hershey (Patience Reynolds), the leg endary candy maker. Patience said when it came to choosing a historical figure. Mr. Hershey immedi ately came to mind. "I like the Hershey bar and I wanted to be the per son who invented them," Reynolds said of her motiva tion to bring the candy mogul to life. "I learned that (Milton Hershey) had a lot of charities that he did for other people." The project required each student to research and chronicle the life of a person who has made an impact on American history. Athletes, politicians, entertainers and business leaders were among those chosen. The students created timelines of their character's lives and fash ioned display boards high lighting their history maker's contributions. Victoria Glenn came out to support her granddaugh ter.

"I think it's good. 1 talked to some of the kids and they all seem to know their parts," Glenn com mented. "1 think it's better for the children too... it helps them keep what they've learned intact." Chamberlain Russell chose a regional history maker. U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, the state's longest-serving black Congressman. "He's a local person and he's impacted the United States *Jmd he was chairman of the Black Caucus," Russell said/ "He's working on world peace and to get a whole bunch of people in the United States health insur ance... I think it's really cool that he ... represents North Carolina in the House of Representatives." The museum has become a favorite event among the students at Forsyth Academy - a tuition free, public char ter school on Shattalon Drive - according to fifth grade teacher Elaine Delgado, who conceived of the project three years ago.
