RELATING PAST AND PRESENT EVENTS, social science teachers tried to show their students that past happenings have greatly influenced present society. Through the study of past civilizations and the mistakes ancient peoples made, students gained a greater understanding of modern civilization and its problems. Current problems such as racial discrimination, inflation, the war between India and Pakistan, and the Middle East crisis were also discussed. Because of the efforts of this department, Box Elder students will be better prepared to take their place in society as citizens of not only the United States, but of the world. D. A.

VOCATIONAL CLASSES and skills such as typing, accounting, shorthand and market and merchandising were offered to students that were interested in furthering their education in the business profession. Headed by Mr. Ridd Grover, the Business Department also sponsored two other programs that helped students experience the actual transactions made in a business. In the Simulated Office Class, students rotated positions as President. Vice President. Secretary, and Receptionist, giving students the chance to hold each position in a business. Connected with the market and merchandising class, an actual store. “Snoopy's Ski Shed, was set up that gave students further insights into the business field.
