Of The World Around Them In Social Studies What! exclaims Miss Bogan as she is momentarily distracted from her 6th period social studies class. Developing the students into citizens was the aim of the social studies department. The department excelled in making social studies come alive for the students at A.C.H.S. The courses began in the eighth with the establishment of the U.S. govern- ment. In between, studies of the world were presented in the form of world history, world geography, and civics. From their teachers each student learned the importance of studying the past of both the U.S. and the world. They also learned that sharing interests in the world with others could be rewarding. Up-to-date facts were presented for discussion throughout the year; therefore the students became knowledge- able of current events. Mr. O ' Rourke relaxes as his world goegraphy students com- plete an assignment. Rusty Wint looks on as Mr. Reed fills out a form for him. 23
