Junior, Senior Requirements Varied By ABOVE: Mr. Jim Johnsrud, clad in mock army uniform, talks about different aspects of the Moratorium. BELOW: Mr. Leonard Whitlow prepares assignment. The United States History classes have changed their requirements. Instead of taking History your junior year, you may now take it your sophomore year. This gives new opportunity to sophomore students. United States Government, Sociology, American Problems, or Political Thought, may now be taken in requirement for graduation instead of the traditional American Problems. This enables the interested students to go on to more advanced forms of Social Studies. It also helps prepare for college Social Studies courses, and for those wishing to major in the field of Social Studies. Mr. Benjamin Benedict Mr. David Buchanan Mrs. Alice Armstrong Mrs. Alcena Boozer 24

Freshmen Acquainted Through Combined Classes The anonimity of our school is bewildering students upon entering into high school. Therefore, the combined English-Social studies classes are designed so that the freshmen may become better acquainted with the school. The English classes teach the freshmen a review of grammar, composition, and literary reading. Students review grammar so that they may utilize the rules and construction of correct paragraphs and sentences. The literature being reread in the English classes correlates with the material being studied in the social studies. An understanding and appreciation of Asian, African, and European cultures are learned. The geography of these countries is also studied in great detail along with studies of the people. Combined classes help frosh adjust to high school.
