Latevola Twentieth Century Change in America Black American History Economic Geography Box Office Manager Miss Christine-Marie Pollutro Philosophy Interpreting History Through The Arts Senior American History If students are to develop a proper perspective on develop¬ ments in the past, present, and future, a thorough knowledge of social studies is essential. To reach this objective, the Social Studies department, under the supervision of Mr. Louis Lanzalotto, offers a diversified and challenging curriculum. Courses may be selected in Economic Geography, Civics, Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, World Governments, and Philosophy. All students must fulfill a requirement of two years of Ameri¬ can History. However, it is possible for a senior to elect either a full year course or four of the many interesting Senior elec¬ tives. Included in the wide range of electives are: Contemporary Social Problems, Religion in America, America Strives for World Peace, Sources of American Thought, Black America, Crime and Justice in America, Interpreting History through the Arts, and 20th Century Change in America. Now in its third year, the History Study Center has continued to provide students with a pleasant place where they can do research, preview a film, or just have a question answered. As the nation ' s bicentennial approaches, the Social Studies department has already started its own preparations for the celebration. It seems like we ' re batting a thousand today ... comments Mr. Craig on February 21.

Offered are six languages: French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Latin, and Spanish, in regular and advanced classes, for students who are considering a further education. In developmental stages are advanced-placement courses in French, German, and Spanish. Members of the department have accompanied interested students to France, Ger¬ many, Italy, and Spain during spring vacations. They have also helped to arrange trips for two students to Germany. This year they organized trips to South America. At the end of the 200 corridor, the foreign language study center is better known as International House. It is open to all students every period for enrichment and remedial use. Departmental philosophy expresses a need for communication in the world.
