The Senior students have a choice of five different classes, which are Creative Writing, Mod- ern World Literature, Contempo- rary American Literature, Hu- manities, and Southwest Litera- ture. These classes seemed to go over quite well with the Senior students. There is a possibility of presenting these courses to the Juniors and maybe Sophomores in the next year. ENGLISH - 147

In the Social Studies Department this year the idea of the thought-process, was increased by having more classroom discussions. This method also aimed at having greater individual attention through which students could be able to understand more about the course, Another new idea brought out was the doing away with the costly text books for such classes as government and American history, instead having modern up-to-date pamphlets for a smaller sum of money. The last change this year was that students who had failed world geography the previous year were not required to take this subjecta second time, but could take another socialstudies c ass.

Students enjoy and understand more with pictures. Setting the mood for an event in American History takes a great deal of involvement. In this picture Mr. Willis demonstrates this technique with one of his classes. SOCIAL STUDIES - 149
