For students who prefer a current and concept- ual Social Studies program, there were in- novative semester courses with such entic- ing titles as Comparative World Religions and American Social Problems. Traditional survey courses in American and World His- tory-were restored for those students who favor a more conventional approach, com- plete with emphasis on events and dates. Along with A.P. European History, a new Advanced Placement course in American History was offered for the first time for academically talented Juniors and Sen- iors. To insure that GIIS students would have a hand in planning future Social Studies Curricula after Thanksgiving, Department Chairman Mrs. Hutton super- vised a committee in which students aired their views about future history courses.

2 Nights without slumber and days of whis- pered secrets converged into one climactic dawn that found a bevy of bleary-eyed club members scurrying purposefully across the front lawn. Like a magical morning mist, Homecoming 1973 had arrived! Projects lovingly prepared stood in the sun for all to see. The Whirlie Meat Market, Exchangcttc brainchild, was chos- en number one. The night was crisp and clear-perfect Homecoming weather. A Mother Goose mis- tress of ceremonies transported GllS'ers back into childhood. Anxious committee members watched plans become reality. Carried by behind-the-scenes elves, a giant shoe took the field at halftime, soon to emit court members and escorts. Finally, the announcement so long awaited was imminent: Who would be the queen? Kisses and hugs, shiny cars and bou- quets, crown and tears-a collage of emo- tions stamped itself on the spectators and suddenly the climax was over. Could Home- coming l973 have gone so soon?
