Jim lanigro demonstrates an Arab costume in World Cultures LEARNIHG ABOUT OUR WORLD To fully appreciate our nation, we need to know about its background. We also find it necessary to know about ourselves, our neighbors here and abroad, and people in general. We learn these things in the social studies courses at EHS. World history, an elective, is designed to give us a broad picture of history in general. This year a number of students volunteered for an experimental course called World Cultures, which is concerned with the cultures of various nations. U.S. History, a required course in the eleventh grade, traces our national heritage, our quest for freedom and democracy from the 1620 ' s to the 1960 ' s. Every senior is required to take American problems, which includes one semester of government and one semester of economics and sociology. Effective living is an elective as is Consumers Education, both are offered to seniors. 26
