SOCIAL STUDIES Realizing the challenges of the world’s societies on the future inheritors of their problems, the Social Studies Department acquainted Jefferson’s students with these obstacles. In addition to the standard courses of geography, U. S. history, world history, government, and economics, the department initiated two new courses in formerly neglected areas. With the promise of becoming more important in the future, the Far East and Latin America were regions carefully studied and analyzed in a new course. Until recently, social and intellectual history has not been con¬ sidered alongside political and economic history. The American Civili¬ zation and World Civilization courses emphasized the transitions, not only through text books, but also with various field trips, movies, lectures, and projects. MISS MARTHA J.

FILKINS B.S., Univ. of Michigan MATHEMATHICS The offerings and activities in Mathematics remained unchanged from the description in the 1966 JEFFERSONIAN except for the addition of a course in Consumer Mathematics, and the planned entry of a team from Thomas Jefferson in the Fairfax County inter-high math league. Monthly competition started in November. The Consumer Mathematics course teaches practical applications in areas such as insurance planning, tax returns, banking and investment, accounting, and the like. It has special value for students planning to go immediately into part-or full-time employment after graduation from secon¬ dary school. Quality of mathematics teaching at Jefferson was strengthened by the return of all our classroom teachers who were on the faculty at the end of the 1965-1966 school year. In addition, the increased enrollment at Jefferson was reflected in an increase of the mathematics staff by one and three-fifths teachers, one teaching five math classes daily, and one teach¬ ing three math classes plus two courses in another subject area. 24
