More than twice as many different courses are now offered in this subject area than were open to the early Aragon students. The Social Studies department has Worked with team teaching, lecture, and small group work since almost the beginning at Aragon. Many of the innova- tions employed at Aragon when flexible scheduling was intro- duced have heen practiced in the teaching of Geography, History, and Government at this school for ten years. The department has made a constant effort to re- vise and update its course con- tent and methods of teaching so as to make its efforts of more value to Aragon's students. --james Dunstan SOCIAL il xx SXXXXSN.

In all areas f - We have attempted to update equip- ment and curriculum to keep abreast of changes in industry. The metals area has strengthened its Welding and foundry course content. A number of teachers have come and gone in the Industrial Arts areas, but each has left his mark of excellence in teaching each individual area.
