W c Study Social, Political, Economic T rencls THE WORLD we live in, govern- mental procedure and organization, America and her role in world leader- ship, trends in modern history, eco- nomics, individual behavior, and ac- tivities of society - collectively and individually, are among the areas of study for OTHS students in social science courses. To make us aware of the problems and complexities that confront us in the postwar world, we study social and political trends in world history, United States history, modern his- tory, consumer economics and sociol- ogy. Newspapers, movies, and field trips supplement the texts, relating our studies to the everyday headlines. TOHl0l'1'0VV'S citizen becomes aware of the world in which he lives.

Col- lege preparatory work is offered in the major areas of English, lan- guages, mathematics, social science and science. In addition, the OTHS testing and the guidance programs help each in- dividual to determine and to develop his abilities. Homeroom teachers work with the guidance director to achieve best possible courses of study for each student. home economics center is College interviews provide a ready access to information about various college programs. College counselors meet OTHS seniors to inform them of college programs, scholarships, etc. Occasionally, visits are paid direct- ly to the college campuses. Seeing for oneself is the best method, perhaps. Then, too, our teachers, everyday, inform us of current college trends in the programs they once went through. Furthermore, when Joe College , last year's senior, visits OTHS again, we learn of college life.
