Social Studie: Looking over the stock fluctuations during economics class are seniors Patsy Randell, Jim Paul, and Jon Miller. CHS students have the opportunity to study past and present events of the world and the social aspects of man, through the many social studies offered. Required to take two semesters of American history in their junior year, students acquire a sound back- ground of America. Individual research is done, and reports are written to instill better understanding. News notebooks submitted by students in American government help prepare future citizens. The subject is a one-semester course required for seniors. The remaining semester must be filled by economics or sociology. Elective subjects include psychology; world, ancient, modern, and medieval history; and world cultures. Projects and reports in all of the courses make text- book studying more rewarding. World cultures stu- dents are allowed to choose what phase of China or India they would like to study. Clip, snip, and paste could be the motto of government students. Here Plo Barnett begins to compile her notebook.
