Liberty is to be free from restraint and violence from others, which cannot be where there is no law. -Locke -Mr. Hughston E ag-t T. 43 Q Z 5 xg, m9l? ii J 1 X New Doors Opened This year, students at Blair were able to enjoy the wide variety of courses offered by the Social Science department. Among the courses offered were Current Affairs, Shap- ing of Western Society, Student Law En- forcement, and Urban Problems. There were even classes that were not set in a classroom. These classes were Applied Behavioral Science, which involved tutoring at Allendale, and Community involvement, an extension of the government class, which gave students the opportunity to volunteer their services to the community. Of course Blair still offered the old timers: U.S. Government, History, and World Geography. By being in the Senate, many students were able to voice their opinions and help run the school. During the presidential elec- tion, debates between candidates hosted by department chairman Jess Hughston, ac- quainted others with the Issues. When Blair's own Bob Salley ran for Congress, those who helped in the campaign dis- covered the effort and commitment it takes to try for a political office. Whether it was in the classroom or out, the Social Science Department gave many students ex- periences that opened new doors. ABOVE LEFT: Lt.
