Social Studies Link Man’s Past With Present ON CHS ELECTION DAY LINDA SETTLE, a “Johnson girl,” and Christy Mays, a “Goldwater girl,” distribute cam- paign buttons to Donna Brantley, Sandra Arrington, and Jimmy Hawks. “Everyone knows what history is until he begins to think about it.” The idea this sentence brings out challenged the minds of many CHS students. They seized a furthered meaning of the record of man’s past through thought-provoking discussions during and after class, through debates, and through the giving and listening of oral reports. Throughout the year the history teachers endeavored to create an historical consciousness so that students could get a concept of history as not simply events happening in the past. Also, the de partment served as an aid in the development of an understanding of the political, economic, and social world. U.S. History and Government students grasped a deeper understanding of their country’s democratic government, society make-up, and heritage of the past. World Geography students gained a knowledge of the interdependence of nations in respect to dis- tribution of resources, of the intense impact of the industrial and democratic revolutions on all sections of the earth, and of each people’s unique culture. World history, revealed as a dynamic drama in which every man has a role, disclosed man’s successes and failures through the centuries and linked the past, present, and future as being one. The Humanities, with its new teacher, Mr. Bowman, enriched its students by an explanation of man’s quest for “the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.” Mr. Lewis Gwin The Pennsylvania State University, B.S.

Scientific Unknowns Set Course For Research As in preceding years, Churchland had a large number of science students engaged in biology, physics, chemistry, and other ramifications of science. With the many activities carried on by science stu- dents, tangible evidence was given of the ever-ex- panding science department at CHS in such things as yearly projects and daily experiments. The many awards attained by Churchland science students, who entered their projects in state contests, showed not only the interest, achievement, and participation of these “young scientists,” but also their desire to further their knowledge of science. It is mainly this part of the science program in which the students are involved. With the hope that the students will become more cognizant of the scientific world of today, science teachers try to make the student more aware of his environment, to learn the “why” of the physical as- pects of life, and to give him a rudimentary explan- ation of its laws and principles. The laboratory sci- ences, as well as general science, not only provide the basic fundamentals needed, but also they attempt to furnish the students with ideas so that they may experiment on their own. This encourages the stu- dent to think for himself and gives him a glimpse of the immeasurable knowledge to be acquired from the advancing scientific world.
