Social Studies The social studies team led by Mr. Marchant, is feeling the cutback ef¬ fects of declining enrollments and Prop. 2’ ?. The impact will be felt in the loss of a two-fifths teaching position, higher class sizes, some courses dropped and increased sections of those electives remaining in the pro¬ gram. We have nothing new to offer in our department,” said Mr. Mar- chant, In fact, we may have to eliminate some courses, like Contem¬ porary Affairs or Anthropology, if our enrollment declines further. Cur¬ rently, 100% of the juniors are enrolled in American History, 44% of the sophomores and 46% of the seniors have elected Social Studies courses. The wish of the Social Studies Department is to preserve the quality of Wellesley’s education. Finally, on a more pleasant note, we wish Mrs. Johnson happiness with her new baby boy, who arrived last fall. Mr. McDermott poses for our camera Dept.
