' ' ' ■ » « ' MinuuwMaoa ih Social Studies Current Events Dominates Study SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT . . . This year was special for all social studies classes because of the Presidential elections. Only once in four years are students able to observe such an important event and discuss the issues of the candidates. World geography is a freshman course where stu- dents learn about all the countries of the world and the people who inhabit them. A world history class begins by studying the beginning of man and actually presents to the students the progress man has made and the problems that had to be overcome. American history concentrates on America ' s history from the days of the explorers up to the present time of growth and expansion in the country. American his- tory and world history are also taught in unique com- binations with English in two team-teaching efforts. The two classes, involving sophomores in World Cul- ture and juniors in American Culture, take a new approach to studying the development of literature with events in history. Civics is a semester course taken by seniors, deal- ing with the na tional government and its operations. State and local government are also closely studied by civics students. Special courses like Economics and Texas History are offered as electives for those who have completed the required social studies courses. Texas History gives students a better knowledge of, the unique history of the Lone Star State, and Economics deals with com- plicated matters of corporation finance, business cycles, money values and inflation and deflation. STUDENT DISCUSSIONS ABOUT civil rights and other controversial subjects fascinate Frank McDonald. 2 1 — Administration IN BRIAN SCHENKS Texas History class, Manette Dodge gives one of the many class reports.
