SOCIAL STUDIES With Brother Clarence as chairman, the social studies department emphasized critical thinking. Besides utilizi ng their texts, students were taught to do specialized readings to deepen their knowledge. Using paperbound books, records, films, film- strips, maps, and an occasional speaker, the social studies teachers tried to get the students to visualize past civilizations and present-day political and social developments. College-level American history was taught to advanced students. Visitors at the Open House saw some interesting projects constructed by the social studies classes. Brother Clarence believes that with our problems at home and foreign affairs exploding, it is necessary for our students, as teenage citizens, to keep abreastwith current events. Brother J.

Max Burnell, B.S. Notre Dame Universify Physical Education Coach: Varsity Football, Athletic Director Chairman: Physical Educofion Depart- ment. PHYSICAL EDUCATION The physical education department is directed by Mr. Max Burnell. In instructing the freshmen and sophomores the rules and techniques ot different sports, physical education classes devoted time to a wide variety of activities. Softball, track, tumbling, volleyball, swimming, and, of course, calisthenics were all part of the program. We try to go along with President Kennedy ' s emphasis on physical fitness, says Mr. Burnell. With people riding around in cars so much today, they do not exercise as much as they did before so we try to supplement this deficiency by our program. Running and swimming do this the best, he feels, as one builds up the legs and other muscles. 27 Thomas Powers, B.S.
