Anne Klein refers to a Civil War chart in her U. S. History class. Over 1,000 students were enrolled in the Social Studies Department of Groveton High School, and studied in such fields as civics, world geography, world history, U.S. and Virginia government, and U.S. and Virginia history. To make the courses well-rounded, the Social Studies teachers placed much emphasis on special projects dealing with current events. For example, several classes did projects on Premier Khruschev ' s visit to the United States, and on the President ' s European and South American travels. These teachers also encouraged Social Studies students to think ob¬ jectively and critically on world problems and contro¬ versial issues. Many students took field trips to the capital in Washington, D.C., to sit in on a session of Congress and observe the Senate filibusters on the Civil Rights Bill, toured the F. B. I. building, and visited Fairfax County Government. To help in the instruction of Social Studies, such aids as films, tape recording, records, maps, and charts were used. Government students show great interest in the discussion led by Sager, Norma Cave, Susan Snyder, Milton Ratchford, Charlie Mich- Mr. Gordon Malmfeldt, of the F, B. I, during Career Week.
