SOCIAL STUDIES DEVELOPED AWARENESS The Social Studies department developed the student's awareness and ability to interpret what was happening in the world. American History was a iunior requirement, while a semester each ot Economics and Problems ot Demo- cracy was required of seniors. World Attairs, World History, and World Geography were elective courses ottered by the department. A Social Studies resource center was instituted which gave students access to most materials Tech offered on a particular subject. The Social Studies department employed the team- teaching method. By using this approach to teaching, each teacher was able to specialize in certain areas, thus giving more depth to his teaching. R. Hammerlind and B.
