In times when America faces world crisis as it has dur- ing the past year, it becomes increasingly important for the nation to have good leaders. We are standing on the edge of new frontiers where we are bound to come up against a great number of obstacles which must be overcome. Since today's students are tomorrow's leaders, it is necessary for young people to acquire a wider knowl- edge of their country's history, principles, current af- fairs, and foreign policies. The development and guidance of responsible citizens able to realize their privileges and duties is the overall aim of all courses offered in the department. Courses in this department required for graduation are American history, American problems, and world geography or world history. Students wishing to broaden their social studies background and learn more about our country and its neighbors may take electives such as Latin American history, world prob- lems, and history seminar. hull! Observing a court in action, members of a social studies class learn about judicial procedure firsthand.

Years ago, the state of science was virtually immov- able and unprogressing. Today, the necessity for greater advances in such fields as communications, de- fense, medicine, and agriculture urges scientists the world over to advance to meet the challenge. Never before has man's life been so affected by scientific works as it is now. Science has played an important role in homes across the nation, as well as in schools. Stressing the im- portance of keeping up economically and remaining close to Russia and other nations in the space rdce have been a concern of parents and teachers. This year has brought an increase of science credits re- quired for graduation. Catalina's students have sho-wn their concern and in- terest in our well-equipped science classrooms of bi- ology, chemistry, physics, and physical science. Stu- dents learn the scientific methods for problem solving in the classes under the direction of able teachers. Over nine hundred students were enrolled. in the science classes this year. .ev Hilf lv M' SCIENCE . Top Row: Gale Bell-biology, cross country, track . , . Mrs. Glenna Cahill-biology . . .

Did the pioneer schools have a maintenance man to light the furnace? Was an efficient office staff ready to take care of attendance, registration, and the many other tasks in the school? Or were there beautifully landscaped school grounds? And how many people prepared and served a school lunch in the middle of the day? Yes, the age of discovery and advanceme-nt has done a lot, and our office and maintenance personnel tend the advances in physical surroundings and services for CHS students. F.- A ! .:,.?V 'p ., Q..
