Guest Speakers Broadened History Curriculum 'fffff r'r'f'r'r'f Mr. Stanley Reynolds lectured his newly formed Anthropology class. Mr. Ed Cheatham led a discussion in American history. With the addition of a course on World Religions and revision of the American Prob- lems class to stress the study of criminal and juvenile law, the Social Science Department expanded its curriculum as well as modified previously established courses. The depart- ment continued to offer Afro-American History, Anthropology, Political Science, and Russian History either in regular class sessions or as electives for independent study. As in previous years, many classes abandoned the use of standard textbooks and concentrated more on films, slides, and other resource materials. The Social Science Resource Room gave students the opportunity to use study carrels as well as to obtain a number of social-study books not available in the library. Social science students benefited from a variety of guest speakers and field trips. lVlr. Walter Moist, Forest View's police counselor, spoke to American Problems classes on the topic of juvenile law. A Catholic priest and a Protestant minister informed Sociology stu- dents of some of the controversial aspects of their respective religions. Interesting and educational field trips for social science students included visits to Dixon State Mental Hospital, Criminal Court and police headquarters in Chicago, and the Bahai Temple in Wilmette. 38 Social Science Department

cience Department Acquired Equipment, Courses With an enlarged teaching staff and addi- tional subjects, laboratories, and equipment, the Science Department increased opportuni- ties for the student interested in science. In Rooms A-117 and A-121, the installation of new biology tables, with individual gas and wa- ter outlets, allowed the remainder of the sci- ence rooms to be used for classroom instruc- tion. Genetics, Human Physiology, and Current Topics in Science, all presented on a one- semester basis, formed three of the new course offerings. Environmental Pollution, the most popular study area, familiarized students with the problems of prevention of pollution. In this particular course, teachers evaluated students using either the pass-fail method or a new contract', system. The student, given pre- determined assignment requirements for every grade level, decided his grade according to the effort he put forth. Biology and Physical Science constituted the only required science courses, while students chose electives from among the many new and different study areas. Science Department 37
