The Black and Gold 1976
Equipping students with the knowledge, experience and skills of each course, the English and Social Studies program offered a variety of courses to develop individual ability and awareness.
Aside from the required English IV for sophomores, upperclassmen were strongly recommended to take a t least one course in literature and writing. Those who followed this recommendation were not limited in course selections. Literature and writing courses ranged from Polynesian Literature to Creative Writing to Short Story and Novels.
Utilizing the knowledge and skills achieved in each course, many students participated in the Bicentennial Essay Contest and the Bicentennial Youth Debate activities.
Due to the increasing popularity of the Psychology and Sociology classes, new course offerings were introduced by the Social Studies Department this year.
Psychology C offered application of the knowledge which was attained from previous psychology classes. During one class period per week, the psych students conducted field work, helping problem pupils from Washington Intermediate School.
Sociology B, an extension of the one-semester Sociology, offered a deeper study of group behavior.
Excursions were planned to enrich class instruction. Hawaiiana classes ventured to Waiahole Valley to study the pressing problems of the Waiahole-Waikane eviction by developer Joe Pao. Visiting Waimano Home was a stimulating experience for psychology students.
