American Studies began in the 1973-74 school year and combines U.S. History and English, giving the stu- dents credit in both classes. World Studies also has the same advantage of double credit. The main event of the 1974-75 year was, of course, the mock elections. Stu- dents are organized into precincts, dis- tricts, and counties. These groups are then organized into two parties, the Nationalists and the Federalists. The students themselves campaign and vote as in a regular national election.

Industrial Arcs The Industrial Arts Department, like most other departments, has been changed in almost every respect this year. There have been new students, new classrooms, new equipment, and a new teacher, Mr. Paul Schneeman. Pro- duction and practice in all divisions had a late start because of construction delays, but students and teachers adapted well to poor conditions. The first to enter their new facilities were drafting and printing. Woods and met- als moved later in the year. As the year ended, plans were being completed for courses in electronics and auto mechan- ics for the new areas of the department. ■
