Social Studies ... LOUIS LANZALOTTO History Economic Geography Social Studies Department Chairman Track DALE L. CARLBERG History Lettermen’s Club Projects Committee ETHEL GAMBLE History National Forensic League JANICE HANAHAN History Senior Class Committee RICHARD COHEN History Human Relations Club JOSEPH FRITZINGER History Civics Projects Committee Yesterday’s history invariably influences his¬ tory of today and tomorrow. Therefore, it is necessary to study history in the light of the past, present, and future, in order to determine its influence and effect on today’s living. Professional guidance in this regard is provided by the Social Studies Department. American History, a two year course, is taken by all students. Beginning with the founding of the American colonies, the program concludes with the present day. Additional courses given are as follows: psychology, political science, economics, sociology, world government, and economic geography. Current events and discus¬ sions, with every student encouraged to partici¬ pate, make up an integral part of the program. Ample time is devoted to debates, discussions, individual research as well as group projects, films, and recordings. All these strive to stimulate the student’s desire to evaluate and absorb the facts influencing the growth of America. There is no better way to cope with present day changes than to research the ways of the past, expertly guided by our Social Studies Department. WALTER KINSELL History I agree with Lincoln that we cannot escape history.” Mr. L. Lanzalotto strikes a reflective pose during one of his lectures. 18

Science ... SANFORD SCHEPPS Chemistry Science Department Chairman By familiarizing students with complex scientific concepts, our science department, headed by Mrs. S. Schepps, aims to prepare students to live in an increasingly technological world. It seeks to develop in students a scientific understanding, relating to issues of science that have decided social impact. Generally, students follow the sequence of Biology, Chemistry, and then Physics. For the true science student, these same courses are offered on an accelerated level, while a less complicated version of Biology and a Physical Science course are given to those who have a general interest in science. Throughout these programs, laboratory experimentation and creativity are emphasized. Now, if it will just let go of my hand . . .” Mr. A. Anderson prepares for a biology lab.
