Expansion has added two new staff members and a full-time educational secretary to the Social Science Department. This growth was necessary to accommo- date the increased numbers of Juniors and Seniors taking the required U.S. History and Government courses. Moreover, an additional Advanced Placement U.S. History class was added. In addition. World His- tory and Psychology were offered as electives. This year the Social Science Department contrib- uted to the Student Council’s International Relations and United Nations Program through use of guest speakers, examination of the role of the United Nations in world affairs, and participation in the UNESCO Drive to save the Monuments of Nubia. The end results of these efforts have been to develop informed, mature citizens with a sound knowledge of the affairs of a troubled and challenging world.

Aside from the regularly offered courses in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and advanced placement math, two new classes—math analysis and calculus—were provided for the more able student. To supplement classroom instruction, the National Defense Education Act provided the Mathematics Department with projectors and other audio-visual aids. In addition, a mathematics library, maintained and enlarged by the stall', was available to all inter- ested students. Moreover, the department sponsored the Mathe- matics Honor Society to enable interested students to pursue studies in specialized fields of math. Guest lecturers from the community frequently contributed to the meetings of the honor society. 3°
