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

Mr. Philip White Miss Karen Hoefner Mr. Peter Strafaci The Art Department has contributed greatly to the social and cultural activities of Longwood High School. They have sponsored an Art Sale under the auspices of Ferdinand Roten Galleries ol' Baltimore, Maryland, featuring original graphic art. Next year, they hope to add sculpture and custom framing. A private art sale was held by the senior students. The Art and Music Departments, through much time and preparation, have brought us Festival '67, the fifth of its kind. A field trip to Lincoln Center and the Guggenheim Museum was taken by the students in the Humanities Course. The Art Department is planning an overnight trip to Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts. The Independent Workshop is a new program for senior art majors who construct their own programs under their advisor. This gives the student an opportunity to advance in the areas which interest him most. The Art Department also sponsored a Creative Christmas Ornament Contest, which the student body found very intriguing.
