Social studies students Students at CPHS learn the history of democracy through social studies classes. CPHSers -are eligible for citizenship, world history, and world geography. The state of Indiana requires that every student take courses in US history and civics and econo¬ mics before graduating. At the end of the year, junior and senior social studies students take part in the actual governmental process in the Student Legislative Assembly. As freshmen CPHSers are introduced to the Math Department by either high school math or first year algebra. Those wishing to continue their study of math take plane geometry, a study of points, lines and angles. The students who find the world of mathe¬ matics interesting go on to take advanced algebra and senior math. Notberg Tscherne, Austrian exchange student, locates her new American home on a map of the United States. At the annual Student Legislative Assembly, social studies students became Senators and Representatives with citizenship students acting as pages in a mock session of Congress. Page twenty-four
