Field trips, group reports and discus- sions, film strips and research papers were activities included in 12 courses in the Social Studies curriculum. United States History, a subiect re- quired of juniors, was offered in Core, a correlation of American literature and history, in regular as well as enriched classes. Seniors were allowed to select the course that would give them their final history credit. World History was also offered as Core in regular and enriched classes. Modern History was the study of world events of the past two centuries. Students in the History of the Soviet and the Far East studied the cultural development of the countries involved. Comparative Government, open to sen- iors only, involved the concepts of American government in comparison to other national governments during the semester course. While World Problems was concerned with current international affairs, Prob- lems of Democracy, a semester course, was a study of the theories of nation- alism and sectionalism. Those who took World Geography, also a semester class, learned of physical characteristics and native behavior of different areas of the world. Anthropology, a new semester course, allowed students to delve into the life of early man. Psychology, the study of human behavior, and Sociology, an examination of behavior patterns of groups of people, were again offered as semester classes.

include Biolo9Y, Physics, Chemistry Students' noses wrinkled involuntarily outside rooms of the Science Department as strange odors of chemicals penetrated the halls of A, B and C wings. From Biology to Physics, students searched deeper into the world of sci- ence, expanding their knowledge of the fields, as they sought to earn the science credit required for graduation. The discussion of plants and animals along with studying microscope slides and analysing blood types served as invaluable aids to biology students. Biology ll students further studied the classification of living things and micro- biology. Budding chemists struggled through theories and formulas and learned how to multiply and divide with a slide rule. Chemistry Il dealt with a higher level of experiments and calculations. Investigation of equipment used in laboratory work enabled Physics stu- dents to learn the laws governing mechanics, electricity, sound, heat and light. Members of the Future Doctors of America club visited educational estab- lishments to learn about a possible career as a doctor. Los Cientificos, sci- ence club, was open to anyone wishing to enrich his knowledge of the science world. A total of seven years study was offered under the supervision of DeWitt Ivey with the assistance of l0 teachers. l Academics 73
