SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department, headed by Mr. Looks, introduced a revised curriculum for sopho- mores this year. Students studied China, India, and Japan before the coming of Europeans in order to view these countries as examples of Eastern culture rather than as objects of European imperialism. The juniors studied American History in great detail considering recent social, political, and eco- nomic developments. Seniors were offered a choice of courses. The standard course explored the multiple problems of our democracy. Great Issues and Economics were offered to students with special interests or abilities in social studies. The twelve full-time teachers and Mrs. Canaday, who was shared with the English Department, pro- vided students with a background in history and social studies in order to stimulate critical thinking, civic responsibility, and awareness.
