Interaction enhances stud Manis interaction with himself and culture, past and present, was the focus of the social studies department. A wide variety of electives, besides the required American and world histories and government classes, were used to accomplish the study of this interac- tion. World problems and psychology, economics, Texas studies, geography, sociology allowed students to choose their areas of study. National and Local Close Up pro- grams allowed students to get a first hand look at the workings of govern- ment. The trip to Washington, D.C., was for many the most exciting experi- ence of their lives. Senior Ann Brady said she enjoyed the learning experi- ence and all of the people she met. Local Close Up was more affordable at about 320. The sessions were at Albert Thomas Convention Center and acquainted students with the workings of local government. Geography club gave students another extra-curricular activity to broaden their understanding of the world's cultures. The club members experienced some of these life styles at the Greek and Renaissance festivals.
