SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT CONTINUES PROVOCATIVE PROGRAM Mr. Richard Viera Chairman Mr. Guy Mastrion Mr. Robert O'Neill One of Longvvood's more productive areas, the Social Studies Department sponsored the Political Science Club field trip to Albany to see the state legislature in action. The Political Science Club also found the guest speaker from the John Birch Society to be very provocative. In the fall, cultural representatives from Ghana and Japan spoke to the Ninth Grade. The newest addition to the department's list of activities is a club sponsored by the Junior Division of the New York State Historical Society. The Yorkers, as they are called, study the history of New York State in an intensive manner. They are planning a project that will study the formation of Long Island from its origins in the glacial age. This project will compete with others from all over the state at the annual conference of the Yorkers held in Syracuse during May. Miss Patricia Novinski Mr. Warren Stoker
