Social Studies Mr. Louis Lanzalotto Social Studies Department Chair¬ person, Advanced U.S. History II, Track and Field Coach Ms. Rosanne Bostonian Biology, Psychology I, Varsity Softball Mr. Dale L. Carlberg, Jr. U.S. History II, Contemporary Social Problems, Political Science, World Government, Bicycle Club Throughout the year the Social Studies department has been busy re-examining all courses and redoing all the mini-courses. Mini-courses will be changed in length — classes will be increased from one marking period to semester (half-year) courses. Courses will now have broader themes of study. For example, the elective of Crime and Justice is now the American Legal System — a course which will deal with criminal, corporate, consumer, and family law. Students can also include in their schedules such courses as Religion in America, Contemporary America, and a course in American Culture. However, students will not be al¬ lowed to take these electives in lieu of regular American History. Based on the results of a survey taken this year, the entire ninth grade history program is being re-exam¬ ined and revamped. In addition to the results of the survey, the history program will be changed according to the feelings of the Social Studies staff and the needs of students. Three new teachers were welcomed into the depart¬ ment: Mrs. Evelyn Emerson, Mrs. Jean LaCorte, and Mr. Anthony Devins, who also teaches at Westbrook. With Mr. Louis Lanzalotto as its chairperson, the main theme of the Social Studies department is the humanization of the individual in society. If a student is given some historical background it is hoped that he or she uses it to improve society’s well-being. Mr. A1 De Filippo American History John S.
