Insight into Today’s Problems. This year being the one for the National election, politics seemed to be on the tongue of every American. There seemed to be a desire to know a little more about our country and how it operated . Many Americans became involved in bitter and antagonizing discussions during this time of conflict and tension. Stu -dents in social studies classes at Willkie were no exception. Discussions in world history, U.S. History, civics, geography, sociology, psychology, and economics classes made students aware of the social problems and working of the government in the past and present. Social studies teachers were: Mr. Phil Brown, Mr. Singleton, Mr. Ward, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Hiatt, Mr. Spear, and Mrs. Merritt. After a discussion of politics, Andy Baker and Jeff Ball analyze political cartoons. Juniors taking U.S. History enjoyed lively discussion of our country's past. 29
