All freshmen in C.H.S. studied civics and Pennsylvania history; sophomores had world history and world culture, and juniors took United States history. Current history and government was of¬ fered to any senior interested in studying the politi¬ cal and governmental problems that face the world today. The elective, world geography, was avail¬ able to any student. Through practical experience in conducting class selections, students learned how to use the voting machines and to participate in both cam¬ paigning and voting. 26
