History students are taught to understand and appreciate man's past experiences, that is, his mistakes and accomplishments, and to benefit from them. The knowledge ofthese things helps students to adiust to the current social, economic, and governmental p rob I em s that they will face after grad- uation. In the social science classes, students were involved with map making, and the Time Magazine Education program. For the Seniors in Government, a current event notebook, or a term paper was required. The eighth grade class took a trip to see Dwight Eisenhower's home, museum, li- brary, and chapel in Abilene, Kansas.
