Social Studies Explanation Inspired by the achievements ofthe Gemini program and other communicational advances, social studies scholars made a rational hypoth- esis: the world is shrinking. Scientists, how- ever, adhered to the belief that the dimensions of the world are undeviating. This conflict spurred social studies students to action. Man served as the nucleus of social studies exploration. Psychology classes evaluated his power ot thought. Mental processes were ana- lyzed and patterns of development and regres- sion were examined. Sociology students broad- ened the scope of inquiry to include the entire society. Man's political behavior in relationto the American democratic system was analyzed by iuniors enrolled inAmerican Government. ln addition to the study of local, state and national governmental organization, American Govern- ment teachers presented a nine-week unit on communism. The rise of the American nation comprised the basis ot study For seniors. Stu- dents discovered that iust as the world has seemingly grown smaller, so, too, has a closely-knit America evolved from the wild expanse of Frontier which confronted pioneers of the l600's. Covering a span of some 5,000 years, world history exposed students to maior developments. In every social studies class, stress was placed upon the importance of current events.

From the tropical lush-green warmth of the green house to the sparkling-cold strength of an oscilloscope, the worlds of biology, chemis- try, physics, physiology, geography and bot- any were devoured by eager minds and senses. The Formula For success: combination of cor- rect proportions of scientific theory and per- sonal experimentation.
