I Www Course ot studies presents vdriety to Ecist students ln I963 Fairmont East ottered a lim- ited choice ot programs. During the past ten years, many new courses, such as multi-media survey, photography, and psychology were added. Within the past ten years, several class requirements changed. Civics, sociology, and economics opened to underclassmen. Students were allowed to talce American history any year. Sen- ior English became an elective instead ot being required. Possibly the biggest change since l963 involved graduation requirements. Seniors ot the class ot I973 needed I8lf2 credits to graduate instead ot the l7lf2 credits which were previously required. Students could also graduate at the end ot their iunior year, atter summer school, or at the end ot the tirst semes- ter ot their senior year.
