TEACI-IES MEANING OF DEMOCRACY Pennsylvania History and Government, World History, American History, and Problems of Democ- racy. Currently, to meet graduation requirements, each student must have three units of social studies. But starting next year, most students will be re- quired to obtain tour credits in social studies for graduation. Reflecting a desire to enrich educa- tional opportunities for youth, this policy exceeds present state requirements. In fact, only by l96l will the Pennsylvania Department of Public Instruc- tion require even three units ot social studies. EXAMINATIONS AND QUIZZES, such as those administered in this tenth grade World History class, enable the student as well as the instructor to evaluate achievement and progress. VISUAL AIDS like this political map of Pennsylvania counties help ninth grade students Jim Carbaugh, Elaine Korlewitz, and John Streilein, become better acquainted with the commonwealth ot Pennsylvania. 23 V ,A gt . xxxi PETER MOLLURA-Civics f Pennsylvania History.

CYRILLIC SYMBOLS exasperate but interest eleventh grader Pat Malloy, in learning the many complexities of the Russian language through constant practice and drill. SPANISH III AND RUSSIAN I TO CURRICULUM program, and Russian was introduced on an exper- imental basis. The decision to include Russian in the curriculum was prompted by a desire to understand the cul- ture of the Russian-speaking people and to break down the communication barrier. Through mutual understanding it is hoped that man's future may include something better than cold or hot wars. To help the five hundred students enrolled in one or more language courses, the Department employed the latest audio-visual aids, such as tape recordings, records, films, and filmstrips to supplement and enrich classroom instruction.
