To be outstanding requires commitment to excellence, scholarship, knowledge, performance, participation and achievement. The Social Studies sequence of courses, which includes West- ern and non-Western culture studies, American History and Government, and Economics has been designed with this commitment in mind. Students completing the Social Studies sequence have begun to make a com- mitment to understanding their fellow human beings by learning to avoid stereo- types and by understanding the origins of human culture. They have begun to participate in government on a school-wide basis, and have learned both the rights Bitterman and responsibilities involved in effective citizenship in a participatory democracy. Their commitment to scholarship and knowledge has been encouraged as they have learned to support conclusions and opinions with appropriate data and to distinguish fact from opinion. Many students have pursued college courses while still attending high school. As a result of their performance and achievement in their Social Studies T classes, the students of Norman Thomas High School have demonstrated their commitment to excellence and thus will surely be one in a million . ,t - f Gi . ., x.

The wars in the Middle East plus the hostage situation in Iran do not augur well for the peace that man says he seeks. This is a time when the ability to speak another man's language is paramount. We of the Foreign Language department at Norman Thomas hope that we are beginning to meet that need through the instruction of French and Spanish, plus an appreciation for the differences and strengths of these cultures. mimi ax Deborah Davis Miriam Davis George Derrien Lillian Dumont Charlote Kornstein .Io-Ann Nespolo Celina Stem 30
