History and Modern Problems Concern Social Studies Classes The goal of social studies teachers is to teach students the value of respect- ing an individual's rights, living with others peacefully and knowing and ful- filling their responsibilities. Besides the traditional history courses, Southeast offers two social studies classes which study modern pro- blems and means of expression. Under Mrs. Linda Buckle's direc- tion, the humanities class - initiated this year - examined subjects such as art, music and anthropology. Frequent group discussion was accentuated by films, lectures and field trips. Family relations is designed to help students understand their parental home better as well as plan for their future family. Other topics include eti- quette, insurance and child psychology.

Speech classes offer experiences in all phases of speech-making and the theatre. They give students necessary confidence and poise in addressing a group in addition to a knowledge of stage drama. Art students strive to achieve creativity by ex- pressing themselves through the varied media of the visual arts. These cover the wide range from charcoal and paints to wax and glass. The presentations of the music department are important parts in many Southeast productions. The band and orchestra are often featuredg they also provide accompaniments. The concert choir and the various choruses perform in civic activities as well as at Southeast festivals. W f f M f 6 f f Mrs
