Social Studies The addition of a new course, International Relations, enables the social studies department to provide Warriors with a well-rounded social studies curriculum. This course, with its oppor- tunity to discuss and analyze current situations, serves as an excellent tool for good citizenship. The curriculum includes American and world his- tory, government, personal finance, economics, and geography, all promoting better understand- ing of the world today in the interests of universal peace. Mock Congresses, debates, panel discussions, and lectures enhance the regular class instruction. For the ambitious students there are competitive awards in social studies. Mrs. Ann A.
