Wh The social studies program in Key West High School aims to develop an appreciation of our past history with a view toward being able to interpret current events, to react iudiciously to them, and to understand the work- ings ot our government. American history and government are required of every student who is graduated from high school. The first is a thorough investigation ot our history from its beginnings to the present time. Government is taught to acquaint the students with our governmental processes at all levels and to make them conscious ot their responsibility as citizens ot a democ- racy. Civics, required of all ninth graders, gives students a survey of the material which they study in greater detail in the twelfth year required course. Hey, kids, this isn't a posed picture. P!F'W' atever it is, Miss Reynolds is interested. World history, a tenth grade subiect, treats of the shifting of world leadership from the East to the West, the historical effects of science and religion, and the growth of democracy, Three awards for merit and ability are given on Class Night.
