Ever mindful of the need for a well-infornied populace, our teachers constantly improve and expand their course of study. Each class is unique in its exact objective, yet all are needed for the students to develop an understanding of human behavior. American History classes give us not only a study of historical events but also understanding of the effect they have on man today. VVorld Cultures provides an appreci- ation of democracy as well as a realization of the inter- dependence of the nations of the world. P.O.D. and Civics present the rights and responsibilities of citizen- ship, the structure and the function of our government, and an awareness of life's opportunities. Economics teaches the student of American economy, sometimes called the eighth wonder of the world. Together they present a total picture of man's social problems and successes. l . !
