sf AP Classes' Interest High Twelve teachers were assigned to the Social Studies Department, six of them full-time. Ioining the full-time group was Mrs. Ruth Burton, whose background included teaching at French lunior High and living in sever- al foreign countries while her husband was in military service. A new part-time member of the staff was Bill Copeland, who came from lardine lunior High to teach US government and consumer education. Interest was high in advanced place- ment classes, which allowed students to earn college credits upon successful completion of the course and scoring well on the final test. A total of 28 stu- dents enrolled in US history advanced placement and 15 enrolled in Europe- an history advanced placement. Teachers in the department shared common goals and philosophies in their instruction. US history and psy- chology teacher Marvin Speier ex- pressed his philosophy for working with his students: I feel that our stu- dents should be made aware of the greatness of their country and how America came about, and aware ot the people who made this country what it is today. if ng, 1 A x Sv I lf' ff? 4' V .
