S.S. Electives Attract Interest In addition to many required Social Studies classes, there is a wide variety of electives to choose from. These electives can be taken any time during the four years. Social Psychology, Consumer Economics, Crime Punish- ment and Law, and Political Carica- tures are just a few of the classes de- signed to teach a student about his or herself and the world around them. Teachers of these electives were also well-liked by the students. One student stated, They all teach interesting things and help a person to enjoy what he or she has learned.
