'H Nag, sg, , -,f4:'ft:Tf' , A Vital Part Of The Social Studies Department saw some changes in the 1972-73 school year: the loss of a teacher, the addition of a new one, teachers teaching new classes, and the change to quarter courses. Many new areas of study were opened to students in Civics and Ameri- can History. Howard Rowley expressed his view of one Civics class, Contemporary Isms, as a provoca- tive experience and the speakers from Ex-Cons For a Better Society and the Emergency Action Coalition were interesting additions to the regular classroom work. He still felt that adjustments should be made in teachers' lecture styles and that changing the grading system to a pass-fall as in the English Department. Outside of the required history and Civics there were the electives. Quite a few new courses were added to the list of last year's electives. Among these were Anthropology, being a new class, there were the usual problems with new equipment and how to teach the class as Sheldon Carr will probably assure anyone who asks. The class was a very general introduction to the basics of Physical and a little of cul- tural anthropology. The student interviewed concerning the class felt that a few field trips would have improved the class but overall it was very interesting. One of the continued, elective, social studies classes was marriage and family living taught by Leslie Nason. The class got involved in small group session to learn how to communicate more openly with each other. Role playing family situations also were tried. The students we discussed the class with especially enjoyed the open, unstructured atmosphere of the class. This made learning something more personal and involving. All in all the unstructured classes, and the variation of the old, previously dull classes made this school year a very interesting school year. Robert Davis, American history teacher, gets involved in the relaxed atmosphere of quarter courses. iifwf -Q... l, j Y V 'f n ffesmlmix W W , 9 , 1. li Qi -.
