Franklin In its fourth year of existence at S. H. S., the advanced American history class is composed of twenty members who are chosen on the basis of achievement test scores taken at the beginning of thc second semester and on the previous semester's work. Under the direction of Ray Hinshaw, junior history in- structor, this class meets during the third period and follows a different routine than the regular class. These special students cover the textbooks and take exams over the book, but they also do extra reading and research. Term papers, discussion questions, essay exams, special achievement tests, and an achievement exam over the entire American history course are some of the special projects participated in by these students. A new method of teaching, that of television, was in- augurated in this class. Television teaching, in the experi- mental stage yet at S. H. S., was used intermittently and in combination with the regular study routine.

The history department of our school encompasses seven semesters of work: world history in the sophomore year, American history in the junior year, and a choice of govern- ment, economics, or American problems in the senior year. Since 1960 was a national election year, all history classes voted for national, state, and local candidates on official ballots. Beforehand, a certain amount of time was spent on the study of electionsg this study is required by law during election years. The main purpose of our history department is to teach the fundamentals of history and its problems to students at the high school level. By Writing term papers, making book reports, hearing lectures, participating in informative dis- cussions, Watching films, and working on special projects, pupils earned credits in history classes. Irene Simpson and Loren Hemingway teach world history, Ray Hinshaw and Robert Clapp are the American history teachers, Ronald Abrell instructs the government and economics classes, and Frank Barnes teaches American problems.

Evening meetings of the Forum were attended hy fifty- eight juniors and seniors who met biweekly in the school library. To become eligible for the Forum, a student must have attended a majority of the discussion group meetings. The discussion groups are preliminary training organizations formed to help prepare students for the Forum. The Forum has several purposes: to help members express themselves more clearly and forcefully, to promote con- structive thinking on the student,s part: and to allow thc students to discuss among themselves the problems and af- fairs which affect the world, the nation, and our city. Outstanding members of the Forum were initiated into the Forum Honor Group: this group, composed of twenty- two members, led the discussions for both the Forum and the discussion group meetings and graded the discussion group members on their performance in the attempt to gain future admittance to the parent organization. Members of the honor group received awards at the end of the year. Officers of the Forum were as follows: Charles Hubler, president: Donna Allen, vice-president, Trudy Haley, secre- tary, and Ianice Metz, treasurer. Ray Hinshaw is the spon- sor of this organization, and he is assisted by Ronald Abrell.
