We must study not only current events but history, which has recorded the outcome of problems. Does history repeat itself, and can people profit from earlier mistakes? By ac- quainting ourselves with earlier problems and solutions, we hope to better understand the issues confronting our society today. World History provides basic explanations of past events and crises. A required junior course, American History offers the student knowledge of our American heritage and a familiarization with the country,s governmental processes. American Government gives the pupil more specific information concerning the workings and depart- ments of the United States Government. Humanities is available to students wishing to learn more about YVestern civilization. This class emphasizes the feeling of the era rather than the events by discussing the literature, art, music and religion of the period.

Two first place and two second place prizes were captured by CHS students in the Regional Science Fair. Another Spartan took honorable mention in the VVestinghouse Talent Search. Two students were among the six selected from Phoenix to participate in the Hi Step Program spon- sored by the Department of Health, Education and XVelfare. Biological Science Curriculum Study, a new course in biology using the modern approach, proved very successful, and will be used in the future in all classes. Under the new Chem Study approach to teaching chemistry, stu- dents centered their work around the laboratory with stress placed on principles rather than on isolated facts. Earth and Space Science is the newest offering for freshmen and provides study in areas of science not covered in other science courses. The science faculty aids students in discovering, understanding and applying important scientific principles. Pupils are acquainted with recent advances in science in order to develop an understanding that leads to application of science in everyday living. A concentrated effort is made by the faculty to encourage promising students to remain in science. Testing the rate of reactions, Karen Lard, Marianne Kovacs and Dennis Moran decide to what extent changes in concentration affect the rate of chemical reaction in Mrs. Ann Justus, 6th period class. Students centered their work in chemistry around the laboratory with stress placed on principles rather than on isolated facts. t
