The ultimate goal of education in social studies is the development of desirable civic behavior. Toward this end PHS courses are designed to instill the know- ledge. skills, values and attitudes neces- sary for effective American citizenship. The American government course was concerned with the structure and functions of local, state and federal government as related to the rights and duties of U.S. citizens. Juniors and seniors who were interested in the new role of the U.S. as a world leader took U.S. foreign policy. Students surveyed the development of the nation and our democratic way of life in U.S. history. Evelyn Jenkins. Sue Benton, and Jean Bullpitt listen to Mr. Pico's taped lecture for a test the following day. Mr. Pico's students were offered the opportunity to use the tape recorder and sociology books to supplement Mr. Pico's class- room lectures. World history, world geog- raphy, and current world affairs may be elected by any high school student. World history was designed to help students appreciate the contributions of other lands, as well as to under- stand the problems of other peoples. Problem-solving, reasoning, and skill in read- ing the globe, maps, charts, and graphs were developed while studying world geog- raphy. In current world af- fairs students concentrated on the social, political, econ- omic, and cultural problems reflected in daily news media. Serving on the city council, the Model U.N. Assembly and general student body elections afforded students practical experience. —26—
