Expanded and Diversified Curriculum The History Department provides students with a comprehensive background in American and world history while offering opportunities to relate this knowledge to current international affairs. The history department is currently evaluating its position in relation to the Thorough and Effi- cient Education Act. To foster the quality of good citizenship in young adults, history is taught to enlighten the students in areas of civil affairs as well as past events. The history curriculum is centered on the his- tory of the United States, Advanced Placement US History II, taught for the first time this year, is the counterpart to Advanced Placement US His- tory I, a junior course. These year-long courses are concentrated and detailed studies of the politics and economics of the historical eras, emphasized by informative selected readings. Students may gain college credits from the classes by passing an exam in May. Top: Luke Kealy and Tom Kirk consider a comment made by Mr. Boardman.

Mock Wedding Highlights Program The objective of the Home Economics Department is to instruct students in a realistic manner in practical fields of study. This is accomplished through actual contact with the areas of pursuit. Demonstrative of this firsthand work experi- ence is the Beauty Operator Occupations Course. The class is held in a full scale hairdress- ing studio which is open to the community. Stu- dents receive instruction and practice in the arts of beauty occupation and receive a beauty operator's license upon the successful comple- tion of the course. Students who are interested in pursuing careers involving children can become familiar with them through the Child Care Occupations program. A nursery school, operated by the stu- dents, aids the community while directing stu- dents in their vocations. Marriage and Family is a new course that has been included in the curriculum this year. Its purpose is to expose students to everyday life and encourage them to formulate their own val- ues and goals. A mock wedding, held on November 3,1976, was one of the special activi- ties of the course. It was planned by the stu- dents and utilized the training they received in areas of itemizing and price comparison. Budget financing, consumer shopping, and cooperation in marriage are other planned points of study in Marriage and Family.
