Mrs. Hood was busy with the Co-operative Education classes and Shorthand classes. Mrs. Hood and Mr. Stafford were kept busy with the novice typists as well as those doing advanced work. Mr. Batchelor conducted Business Machines classes while Mr. Stafford taught Business Law. Mr. Bond and Mr. Henry were kept busy with the CHS aggies as usual. Many new fields of agriculture were open this year to give the boys an opportunity to develop their skills. Home Ec. was an ever-popular class with the girls as they delved into fields relating to homemaking. Sew- ing machines humming, mixed with the sweet smells of baking, were familiar sights of this department. i Mr. Batchelor discussed an assignment with student Brenda Huffman. . . ...., ...

The History department received a lot of new blood this year with the transfusion of three new teachers. For the first time in the History fget it?J of CHS two classes have been combined to create a two-hour block. Mrs. Greenhoe, English teacher, and Mr. Par- tain, U.S. History teacher, combined their efforts to form a new course called American Studies. The em- phasis in this class is placed on group participation and intricate research with close attention paid to correct English usage and detailed factual material. Not only are the students expected to do various difficult History assignments, but they must keep up with their English as well. Twelve units of 3200 had to be completed, cre- ative writing stories were written, and the class delved into the history of western literature as well. For those students not interested in this block class, traditional United States History was offered, taught by Mr. Sampson. Mrs. Shoaf and Mr. Sampson had to goit alone in the Arizona History department as classes filled to the point of overload in this required subject. Mrs. Ferguson was another new body on the History scene. She was especially popular with the seniors who were required to pass her civics course as a prerequisite for graduation. Mrs. Ferguson and her classes got involved in topic reports during the first semester. Students chose a topic for in depth study. Another one of Mrs. Ferguson's new ideas was her idea of having the students write down a thought for the week. Students gvotiso involved with their political ideas they decided to start their own club which they named Youths for Democracy. Mr. Sampson and Mrs. Ferguson were club co-ordina- tors and a major help in getting the club off the ground. Seniors studying our Government were often faced with puzzling problems. Here Mrs. Ferguson effectively dealt with such a problem. Mr. Renning worked with one of his basic social studies stu- dents on one of the many problems concerning history.
