World and American History and Government which are required for grad- uation, as well as geography, sociology, and advanced social studies are taught. This year social studies sponsored a one- day debate and discussion on the Novem- ber Vietnam moratorium. American history is mandatory for juniors and government is usually taken in the senior year. Some of the American history program is team-taught. The social studies department leans heavily on the audio-visual department for teaching aids. Films are shown regularly to students. Junior, Beckye Brown, looks over her American History just before a big test.
