Lansdowne-Aldan offered many courses in social studies to broaden our outlook and to enrich our lives. Students in the seventh grade became acquainted with the people and cultures of Europe and Asia. They were guided by their instructors, Mrs. Jane Dick, Mrs. Nancy Kaebnick, Miss Katherine Subers, and Miss Roberta Peterson. In the eighth grade, students learned about the history and geography of their own country under the direction of Mr. Raymond Spafford and Mr. Walter Mankin. Pennsylvania history and civics were taught to the freshmen by Mrs. Roberta Peterson, Mrs. Nancy-Jeanne Everest, and Mr. Thomas Jenkins. Mr. Edwin Snyder taught world history to sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Juniors furthered their study of American history under the guidance of Mr. Gerald Skrocki and Miss Regina Stretch. The students in this course created many special projects. They read current books, wrote term papers, made posters and maps, took part in debates, and did many other things to make the course interesting. Seniors completed their high school education in social studies with the study of world affairs and cultures. Mr. Lawrence Richards and Miss Regina Stretch taught this course. Seniors discussed current events and scanned a weekly news magazine throughout the year. Interested students made special reports, charts, and maps. Students also delved into economics with vigor. In April, talented students participated in a model United Nations at the University of Pennsylvania. Twenty serious students of world affairs represented Yugoslavia and Mali in the consideration of the pressing problems of self determination and disarmament. A trip to the United Nations provided the entire class with much information and entertainment. The senior class spent two days in Washington visiting places of historical interest and enjoying the entertainment the city provided. Twenty
