Social Studies Department Heads Toward “New Social Studies”’ The ‘New Social Studies” is a practice where classroom discussion emanates from the students and not the teacher. This format results in a more student orientated class in which the thoughts of the students are of primary importance. A Psychology-Sociology course was instituted this year and will be continued next year. A new course entitled The Non-Western World, exploring such nations as China, Japan, Russia, Africa, India, and The Middle East will be introduced next year. gout hacaseccceninaesee eee ested sieht 4 Mr. Marc Katsoulis, Department Chairman Miss Jan Volkmor Mr. Lawrence Holdsworth Mr. Albert Newsome Mr. William Mullins

Science Department Prepares for Move The Science Department offers a progression of courses ranging from general science in the freshman year to Biology I in the sophomore year, chemistry in the junior year, and either physics or Biology IJ in the senior year. The department has devoted much time in planning next year’s move into the new wing. Next year, college preparatory freshmen will be allowed to elect an all-new, lab — orientated, Introductory Physical Science course. In addition, Biology I will be taught in quarter courses, each concentrating on a distinct area of study. Plans are being formulated to correlate curriculum with that of the Junior High, so that there will be a smooth continuation of curriculum from the Junior to the Senior High School.
