Review of Social Studies leads to change in curriculum Due to a thorough review of the So- cial Studies Curriculum during the year, students will have had their last year of social studies mini courses, which have been offered for the last two years. The future for students tak- ing social studies will be two semesters of history instead of the usual four mini courses. Students will be able to take a history elective for one semester. The sophomores will be assigned to one semester dealing with 20th Cen- tury America the the other dealing with The Law and You. The juniors will take American Government and Eco- nomics, while the seniors will be as- signed to two semesters of World Cultures. The Drake History Club was dropped due to the lack of an adviser. This has been the first time the club was notin- cluded in the extracurricular activities of the school since the club started in 1949 under the direction of Miss Ma- bel Clark. lt was then known as the Drake 59er's Club. It is the hope of the social studies faculty to get it started again and to continue its service to the school and community. Robert W.
