Each student took a test which was processed by a com- puter at the University of Buffalo and re- turned to students to show them their weak spots in general knowledge of United States History. Students then worked for self-improvement and were retested. Groups went to the County Court to see law in action. Interest in the world situa- tion was maintained through the use of current event papers, extra credit reports, and class discussion. Enriched classes used college level material in American History. Film strips, movies, and student reports helped convey historical ideas. Linda Lisle American History I classes studied the constitution from material furnished by the University of Buffalo, Students were amused as they viewed the length of the report. Michael DiNardo and Marie Sheldon point out the same place on the globe and the map. Map study is an integral part of social studies. Social Studies can be fun, too. Here Rick Anderson is answering questions by locating the geographical point ot the incident on the map. If the answer is correct, lights will gIow and a huge roar of approval is sounded by the class. 11

The curriculum repeats the necessity of emphasis on the reading skills at all levels with provision for individual differences. To make sure that each student is getting the English education which will most benefit him - field trips, movies, film strips, overhead projectors, tape recorders, and record players were used.
