An everyday scene in the social science resource center. Social Science Students Acquire Understanding Knowledge and understanding of national and world affairs are becoming more and more essential as international problems become increasingly intense. Aiding students in this area, teachers seek to relate world happenings to the history of the past. Modular scheduling permits the student to participate more completely. Variety in approach is afforded through team teaching and grouping according to interests. An intense study of past presidential elections was conducted by one group. Similar groups concentrated their study on other aspects. An expanded resource center furnishes more interesting materials for student research. Background material ranging from geography and history to economics and sociology provides the desired information about important world affairs for seeking minds of young high school citizens.

Enjoyment of Macbeth is obvious for Dave Fry and Beth Andrews. Communications Utilizes Innovative Approach Innovation seems to be the key for the Communications department for 1968-1969. This year. Project English or Accelerated Project English is encouraged for all who are college bound. In Accelerated Project English, the students study works of more authors and delve even more deeply into the works they study. Nebraska Curriculum materials are used in both of these classes. Practical English is a course devised primarily for those who are vocationally oriented. This year, through government grants, the English Resource Center is enlarged by the addition of many books, records, tapes, and filmstrips. The Communications Department was enriched by a grant of $5,000 to buy books and $1,500 to buy visual aids. The innovative approach is also evident this year in the speech, journalism and foreign language sections. Speech II team teaching stresses individualized forensics. Conversational Spanish and German is presented with the student’s individual need constantly in the foreground. 27 It’s a mad maze of exams for Karen Albright.
