K .lan Hill and the photographer catch the American History display. Miss Brown's interest in these projects is catching. Mr. Yglesias supervises the study hour before a check to test the knowl- edge of these boys and girls in the history of their own country. SOCIAL STU DIES DEPARTMENT JOE YGLESIAS ROBERT BYRNES 1 No doubt about it the Social Studies department teachers and their students keep the display cases filled with interesting evidence of their growing familiar- ity with the history of man. YVith world events and home economics and poli- tics changing so fast, only the well-informed students of the past can keep their hands on the pulse of the troubled world. By digging into civilization's earliest beginnings and reading the biographies of our own great and near-great they learn a little of what turn events may take. Se habla espanolu in American History-at least in illr. Joe Yglesias' class. lllr. Yglesias, who doubles at CHS as a Spanish l teacher and an Amer- ican History teacher, also sponsors the junior Optimist boys. A native of this fair city, he moved to Arizona state and attended Arizona State College where he majored in Spanish and Social Studies. He taught at Scotdale High School there before coming to Chamberlain this year. M155 MARY BRUWN Forel , shouts the aspiring young Sammy Snead while lllr. Robert Byrnes beams on his successful golf team boys. This graduate of Tampa Liniversity leads a very active life at Chamberlain, for he also teaches VVorld His- tory and sponsors the Junior Civitans. Students of lVorld and American History are well acquainted with flliss ,llary Brown. Coming to us from Hillsborough, Kliss Brown began teaching here during Chamberlain's first year of existence. Teaching boys girls the trend of events in the nations of the world and the development of the greatest of the freedom- loving countries is Bliss Brown's chief delight.

Big project of the Social Studies group that first year was a bona- fide election. All the rules were observed in getting the vote of the people from the first Hling of the aspiring candidates to the final tabu- lation of the ballots and announcement of the winners. Those first Student Council officers were really officially elected-with campaign speeches, voting machines, watchers at the polls, and acceptaince talks. All students entered into the political activity with earnestness and finished with a better understanding of their resposibilities in a demo- cratic government. Now you see him, now you don'tl Jlr.
