Having been department chairperson for eight years already, Mr. Smith said that there haven't been many changes in that time. One major change, however, that goes into effect next year, is the requirement to take an extra sci- ence course in the freshman year. World Cultures would be moved to X Y iii: ii r 'f x 'iQtiit,,:jla fs: ti? Donls France PE, Driver Ed, Career Decisions BA - CSU, Chico enjoys tennis, camping, traveling at GDHS for 11 years Erlka Glbbs Cafeteria enjoys baking, music at GDHS for 3 years the sophomore level. Since this year's freshmen had already taken World Cultures, it would appear there would be no World Cultures courses next year. This meant that some teachers would get reas- signed to other classes. The Social Science department was also in dire need of new textbooks. Some are 30 years old, but, due to cutbacks, teachers were unable to purchase new books. Despite these setbacks, Mr. Smith felt that Davis has a superi- or Social Studies department and teaching program. Social Science 179
