Mr. Herbert P. Baker World History; Comparative Religion; Freshman Hockey The students themselves helped to initiate the adop- tion of several new semester courses such as: Latin- American Studies, Comparative Religions, Africans Studies, and American Government. (Question: If Rhode Island has 2 senators, how many does Califor- nia have? Well, it must have more, it has more people!) Field trips to Harvard University (to audit a history class), near-by courts (to observe our judicial system in effect), the Museum of Fine Arts (for the ex- hibit of ancient Egyptian art), and Peabody Museum (to view Indian artifacts) are just samples of what the creative minds of our social studies teachers can con- jure up to enhance the learning experience of their stu- dents.

Mr. John D. MacBain Psychology; Sociology; Baseball; Soccer Mr. Paul W. Carey Social Studies Department Chairman; U.S. History; Forum Club; Football SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department is trying especially hard this year to veer away from the traditional class- room curriculum and methods of teaching. The em- phasis has switched from rote memorizing and con- stant note-taking to helping the student develop an un- derstanding of his world, past and present. Such a phi- losophy has enabled several social studies teachers to allow their students to do independent study of their own choice for several weeks. Mr. Edward J.
