Relevance — The Key Goal in Social Studies In order to present a more relevant line of study in the social sciences, the North High Social Science Department has made many progressive and sig- nificant changes in the past few years. The 1972-73 year continued on suc- cessfully with its program of the required elective . Team teaching spread out through the department and now four instructors use this method in their United States History classes and others use it in their courses. Sem- inar meetings and an honors program, in which advanced students can par- ticipate in an accelerated program of social sciences, drew the interest of many Saxons. The department also carried out a type of public relations with various feeder elementary and middle schools, and sent instructors out to them to explain the programs at NHS and give individual counseling. Education was also handled outs ide of the classroom and students con- ducted several visitations to anthropology museums and government courts. Department head Mr. Dean Malmo hoped to see a greater use of audio- visual materials and the development of critical thinking in the students. Ms. Shirley Baltau U.S.C.
