MR. HENDERSON MR. O'LAUGHLIN MR. OTT SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT A travelog committee constructed a political map of each region that was studied in the seventh-grade American History classes. Ambitious students spent many hours after school helping Mr. Perkins display these maps through the use of the bulletin board. Eighth-graders made concentrated semester studies of different nations of the world in their World Geography classes. This project included a study of the nations' religions, languages, coinage, industries, and arts, commented Mr. Perkins. Mr. Ott led the freshmen to a better understanding of our state's resources, of our law enforcement, and of the local and state courts in his social studies class. Helping the sophomores to better understand the world they live in was the project of Mr. Henderson and Mr. O'Laughlin in their American History classes. The juniors were confronted with a new experience this year in their World History classes. Students prepared, under the guidance of Mr. Henderson, extensive research papers on topics of current discussion. Senior social had a dual study purpose; the first semester was de- voted to a study of our American Government, and the second semester was spent studying the economic system that exists in the United States today. The social studies department did indeed have a busy year. Faculty members devoted much time to rewriting the entire social science curriculum. It is hoped that by the fall of 1966, an entirely new social studies curriculum will be instituted. MR. PERKINS' travelog committee. 8
