God- fearing, freedom-loving people, a world- wide clash of powers could take place. The social studies department is pre- paring students for this most dangerous period to be faced in history. The aim of the political science course according to Mrs. Jane Watson, department head, is . . . to develop the student ' s apprecia- tion of his country through studies of its democratic institutions and traditions, its natural resources and its cultural herit- age gleaned from man ' s total experi- ence. National contests encourage students to participate actively in their social studies courses. Cyndy Skinner, Jim Standiford and Debby Condon were ap- pHcants in the U.S. Senate Youth pro- gram.
