Studies Department concludes summer revisions After three summers of work, the social studies instructors agreed that their revised curriculum was well- worth the effort. Students and teachers discovered that the re-designed and improved history program prevented much duplication found in previous years. The up-dated course was designed to give each student a more basic and complete understanding of ancient and modern history. Thus, each stu- dent could then relate and apply the lessons of history to the world of today. The curriculum changes were made to eliminate duplications of material taught, to provide more opportunity for research, to update the curriculum and to include new areas ofstudy.

Darwin Sellers, To keep pace within an ever-ac- celerated, technological society, the Math and Science Departments have constantly updated their curriculum. All math instructors have tried to instill within their students a knowl- edge of math that can be applied ei- ther in college courses or under working conditions. Thus, the courses offered at AHS f geometry, intermediate algebra, advanced mathematics and senior mathemat- ics A enabled each student to better his proficiency in the basic skills as well as in the advanced studies. In the Science Department, the Chemical Education Material Study program, initiated in 1966, placed emphasis on discovery rather than on memory. In addition, courses in regular chemistry, physics and biology were offered. Myron Schultz-algebra. Robert Schwab- biologyg Academy of Science adviser.
