Z 71 N.. r s ,....-af Q he Social Studies Department at NHS takes students around the world, teaching them about their ancestors and the people of neighbor- ing countries. Though many Social Studies courses are not mandatory, students often take more than the ones required because the courses offered cover such a vast array of topics. This year the Social Studies Department has changed their four year plan for students. Now, freshmen take Geography, and most sophomores and juniors take World History and U.S. History. All students may also take American Law, Sociology, An- thropology, and Psychology. The classes required to graduate are International Studies, Govern- ment, and U.S. History. Enrollment figures indicate that American Law is by far the most popular non-required social studies course at N.H.S. Many speakers visit this class, such as police, CIA agents, and lawyers. 1 - Mr. Southerland displays his prize catch. 2 - Ms. Under- wood waters her flowers. 3 - Mr. McVay catches a big one. 4 - Coach Raines goes over team plays. 5 - Some of the Social Studies teachers goofing off in the workroom. 6 - Coach Pridgen, a P.E. teacher. 7 - Mrs. Drake and Ms. Kaplan discuss the master schedule. 8 - Mr. Cooper and Mr. Williams discuss the school. 9 - A new addition to the English Depart- ment, Ms. Wolensky. 10 - Mr. Cates and Mrs. Flowers talk about a science experiment. 215
