Presidential elections, geography bingo, the philosophical theory of government and the analysis of the rise and fall of the various dynasties exemplify a small segment of the topics studied in the Social Studies Depart¬ ment. Coordination of social studies with English for select juniors and seniors fur¬ thered the presentation of various topics per¬ tinent to an understanding of the past and present of man. While flustered freshmen located the prin¬ cipal cities of India, perplexed juniors pon¬ dered over the intricate checks and balances specified by the Constitution. The seniors learned about the theory and the institution of the American government, while other individuals frantically memorized the reasons for the decline of the Roman Empire. Movies depicting numerous contrasts of nationalities throughout the world brought students closer to the foreign countries, cul¬ tures and civilizations which they studied. Field trips to Woodlawn Plantation, the Pan American Union and other government buildings in Washington D.C. were effective provisions of first hand information as well as welcome breaks from classroom routine. Whether in a world geography class or a U.S. government class, the F.C.H.S. students gained knowledge of the contrasts in today ' s society which necessitate universal study and understanding. Social Studies Dept. Keeps Abreast of World Affairs Oh, I think it ' s somewhere between Spain and India, explains Mr. Sell. 21
