World circumstances affect Social Studies Keeping abreast with the ever-changing world, the Social Studies Department created new interests with a few changes. This year the U.S. History classes of Central added more and better information on Black History. Keep- ing the two studies together, teachers had students rotate the two books as they worked through the past. Western Civilization classes changed a little too. In- stead of concentrating on the whole book, Lloyd Bateman emphasized the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Foreign Relations studied the different relationships of the countries of the world. Guest speakers visited the classes, telling of the customs from their lands. Many students were assigned to bring to class articles Above: Seniors Susan Williams and George Huff take time before class concerning current events, to look over a time line for economics.

Searching for data vital in Science 'I can do it shrieked Biology students as they re- ceived their instructions on how to dissect a frog. Who said science wasn’t fun? For instance in Psy- chology, where they tried to find out more about themselves and the people around them, they did so by working puzzles, by taking personal tests, by study- ing ink blots, or by questioning each other about their actions. The study of science was not always limited to the classroom. Such was the case when the conservation students took time from their every day routine to go and observe the collection of rocks and fossils which were displayed. Classes were provided for any student interested in the fields of Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Conserva- tion, and Physiology. Classes in basic and introductory courses were also available.
