Course combines American cultures American Cultures, a fused course, replaced Black Studies and Mexican-American Studies as individual classes. Because a relatively small number of students had enrolled in the previous offerings, they were combined into a course designed to study all major minorities, such as Orientals and American Indians, as well as blacks and Mexican-Americans. Other social studies classes generally stayed as they had been. Government classes took their usual trips to the courthouse for a tour and a rundown of the different jobs and people it takes to run a county. And they were not the only ones taking field trips, Psychology students visited a psychological clinic where they heard a lecture by a resident psychologist. Besides taking field trips, social studies classes kept up with current events, following the Patty Hearst trial, 1976 primary elections and such closer-to-home happenings as the murder of first grader Randy Brown, the Duval County scandals and speeches by visiting atheist Madalyn Murray CTI-lair.
