Mr. Stenzel was welcomed by our two returning Social Studies teachers. Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Watson. Survey of American History has been added to Mr. Lancaster's schedule. It has proved to be a popular class with both teacher and students. Sociology. taught by Mr. Watson, is also a well-liked class. Its aim is to help students toward a better understanding of their personalities and behavior.
