5.-S.. Bu ine f inrrcmfe fkillf l'We want to teach students how to deal with current events that will shape their lives,', stated Senior Social Studies Teacher Rod Jones. As the teachers in SS 7-8 emphasized the responsibilities of citizenship both political- ly and economically, the students learned more about their future roles. Meanwhile, the juniors in SS 5-6 studied history and past events. Major units included the development of the two- party system, the causes of the World Wars and the depres- sion, and studying constitutional amendments. Since it was a presidential election year, a primary con- cern was studying the presidential candidates and the elec- tion itself. Social Studies students were given the opportu- nity to participate in a mock election in which Jimmy Carter came out on top with Ronald Reagan close behind. The aim of the Business Department was to provide each student with a knowledge in machine operations and business procedures. The students studied the techniques involved with transcript machines, adding machines, and electronic calculators. Business is something everyone needs to know in order to succeed in the world, stated Jim McCallister, department chairman, expressing need for the department. Junior Laura Alldritt added, I think that using your skills around school helps with future work exper- iencesf' RUTH BARBOUR keeps herself busy in the Social Studies Resource Center.
