Provide Balanced Programs of Study A changing and varied curriculum character- izes Magnolia's Social Studies Department. A modified version of the team teaching system is used, employing lecture Trades between Government teachers to combined classes. The real factors making Magnolia's Social Studies Department a dynamic, vital teaching instrument are the unique courses offered to the interested student of Social Studies. World History Since I9I4,,Geology, Current Affairs, International Relations, and Economics supple- ment and improve the required classes in Ameri- can Government for Seniors and United States History for Juniors. Another major aid to learning in this expand- ing field is the several field trips and extra courses offered through the supervision of the Departments teachers. A group expedition to the debate between high officers in the American Civil Liberties Union and the John Birch Society sponsored by Whittier College debate society and sponsoring of three students plus a faculty advisor for the World Diplomacy Day at Occi- dental College were two such extra proiects, designed to increase interest and knowledge in this field.

Key Club Sponsor Many Sentinel students as well as faculty members had their cars overhauled and repaired bythe auto shop students. Equipped as fully as any garage, the shop provided an opportunity to gain experience in auto repair work for Sen- tinel boys. This was one of several excellent vocational training courses included in the Industrial Arts . Department. A large and well qualified faculty made it easy for boys to explore careers in dif- ferent fields of industrial work. Full Workshops in Electronics, Metalwork, Woodcraft, and Drafting enabled students to specialize in any field. Advanced classes, select- ed from top students of beginning classes, pro- vide even more specialization for the interested student. These advanced classes perform projects of service to The school, such as making scenery for the Drama department, decorations for dances and work for the pep squads.
