The Past The Social Studies department of Wendell L. Willkie High School offered a variety of subject for students of different grade levels. Freshmen had the option of taking World History which gave them an overview of the past. Again this year some World History students were assigned the project of building a medieval manor. As in the past, this assignment resulted in some original and creative work on the part of the students. Juniors were required to take United States History. Their study of the country’s past was made more meaningful by correlating it to events in the present. Seniors were required to enroll in two of the following three classes Civics, Sociology, and Economics. The Presidential election in November brought special significance to the Civics classes. Psychology was an elective offered in the department. Discussions were held about the possibility of adding more elective classes to the department so that interested students would have the opportunity for in-depth study-in areas of the Social Sciences. :4 Kathy Long, Janie Short, Kathy McDaniels, and Kevin Fewell find history is fun. Mr. Brown makes a point as he talks to his sociology class. Steve Stafford, Sheryl Wright, Kathy Hughes, and Kathy Scholl are U.S. History students.
