Enrollment of Students Necessitotes Stott to Make Minor Adjustments Members of the Social Studies Department were quite pleased with the enrollment in classes this year. Approximately 1700 students involved them- selves in some kind of history, while only one course, American History, is ac- tually required for graduation. The staff seems to increase a little each year. As Mrs. Clara Dunn, head of the Department, put it, The staff is constantly expanding for a growing enroll- ment. A new class under the direction of Mr. William Nelson was added second semester. The course was entitled Contemporary Affairs and it included a dis- cussion of previous history and current events. Other classes offered were World History, American History, Economics, American Government, Sociology, and Far East. Economics was a course devoted to a discussion of buying and selling and its purpose was to teach the student something about the standard of living. American Government was concerned with study of the constitution, and Sociol- ogy was basically designed to teach students about society and how each mem- ber fits in. This class was highlighted with several field trips. Far East, History Seminar and Advanced American History are considered honors courses. These classes are designed for the accelerated students in which the teacher attempts to present a deeper insight into the subject. Mrs. Dunn commented that teachers seemed to be very enthusiastic about modular scheduling.
