The Social Studies Department offered a number of unique opportunities for students outside of the regular classroom activities. Programs such as Close Up, Political Discovery, Metropathways, Harvard Model UN all gave students opportunities to use Washington, D.C., and Boston as their classroom. The students' intern-program at the State House allowed students to spend a full semester working in the political environment.

In these changing times, even the most rugged football players can be seen cooking or practicing elegant needlepoint. At last, boys are equal to girls in menial tasks. :'1
