Forty-two Social studies stress civic awareness and responsibility Today's youth are conscious of today's civic problems. High school social studies informs student citizens about the social and historical factors that influence modern society and government. Students learn to take civic responsibility seriously and classroom study stimulates active civic discussion. American and world history classes turned back the pages of time for a look at how important historical figures and events influenced American life and current international relations. Civics students reviewed leading news magazines, voted in the primary elections, and thumbed through the Congressional Record in keeping abreast of local and national affairs. In economics, students came face to face with the monetary problems confronting our government through a thorough study of budget and finance. Cody citizens learned to be good drivers, too. Caution, courtesy, and control were the class lessons students practiced on Cody's driving range highways. SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHERS . . . Top Row: K. Dun- M. Nadis. Bottom Row: G.

Students solve problems in mathematical science In today's science-conscious world, mathematics has proved to be a practical knowledge which students study and apply in the classroom. The student mathematician learns that its basic principles are scientific laws with which he can solve many problems. General math classes began with very simple mathematics. Students experimented in figuring out expense accounts and household budgets. Advanced students learned to apply more complex mathematical formulas in solving algebra problems. They computed travel time and distance, charted graphs, and solved problems in ratios. In geometry, students proved theorems and propositions. More advanced classes created geometric figures and patterns out-of paper, plywood, and glass. New advancements were made in mathematical science, too, this year. For the first time Cody's curriculum ojj'ered qualified math students a combined course in college algebra and trigonometry on the university level. W MATHEMATICS TEACHERS . . . Top Row: E. Bell.
