SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department, under the direction of Mr. Robert Avakian, is very popular due to its student-elective courses of sociology and field trips, psychology, anthropology, Chinese, and Indian Civilization. Juniors are required to take United States History, and additional advanced placement courses are offered in western civilization and United States history. Much of the increased interest in social studies finds its basis in the fact that it teaches its students to challenge the world head on! THEJOY 20 Richard J. Stack Donald Beurman

Widespread knowledge of French, Spanish, German, and Latin is available at the Westwood High School. A vareity of programs and special materials provide students an op- portunity to gain a greater insight into the ac- tual make-up of a particular language and the country from which it originated. Many stu- dents take Mr. Parker ' s Latin course to im- prove their grammatical and vocabulary skills. This was the first year German was of- fered, and it was very successful. The department is under the direction of Mrs. Elaine Eaton, who is assisted by Mr. Manol Dhimitri, Mrs. Ann Marie Tieri, Mrs. Hollis Perry, Mrs. Barbara Grey, Mr. Robert Burke, Mrs. Ruth Very, and Mr. George Parker, who is also the Director of Driver Education.
