In addition oo hav- ing more specified areas from which to pick, the classes are only a sem- ester in length. Therefore, you are able to take two classes instead of one. The Social Studies electives have been diversified to reflect the stu- dent's needs. The areas of Ancient Greece and Rome, World Biography, Economics, World Area Studies, Civil War to Great Depression, Great Depression to the Present, Europe 1789-1900, Europe 1900-Present, Soc- iology, Comparative Governments, Contemporary Problems, Psychol- ogy, can now be studied more in de- tail. In place of the former graded Eng- lish class, there is a wide range of electives to select from. There are preparatory classes for the vocation- al or college-bound students or for both. Reading and Criticism, Thea- ter and Screen, Minority Literature, American Novel, Speech land II, Practical English, Directed Reading, Vocational Grammar, Advanced Grammar, Reference and Research, and Creative Writing are the choices. The Foreign Language, Science, and Math curriculums are still the same full-year course as in previous years.

Another advantage of the greater selection of classes is that there possibly are all three grades represented in a class. This provides an op- portunity to associate with different students. The school has definitely taken a step in the right di- rection for better education.
