These courses were American history, world history, American government, economics, and sociology. World history and American history are offered as full year courses, and these subjects try to teach the students the most important events of history, the ability to recognize these events and their effects, and the ability to realize their connections with present day life. American government, sociology, and economics, are offered as one-semester courses. The first, required of seniors, acquaints the student with the make up of his government and at the same time teaches him to be a good citizen. Sociology teaches the forms, institutions, and functions of our society, and a student of economics is taught the laws and conditions affecting the production. the distribution, and the consumption of wealth. W6lfA6l'l'Ld,1iI:C5 .ibeparfmenf Through the efforts of the teachers in the mathematics department, the students of the high school are well versed in the science of numbers. Those pupils who experienced some difficulty with eighth grade arithmetics are advised to take the course in basic mathematics. This course is designed to help them to pick up what they have missed and prepare them for their higher courses. Algebra is basically a tool subject which attempts to aid the students in acquiring the skills needed in a future study of mathematics. A second year course is given for those who are to con- tinue mathematics in college. Two courses in the study of geometry are given. Plane geomerty deals with the appreciation and application of the principles of geometric forms in nature. For those students who are taking advanced high school mathematics, a course is given also in solid geometry. Trigonometry, which is the study of the relationship of sides and angles of triangles, gives students further practice in logical thinking. This is also a good preparatory course for college mathematics. Charles L. Clark Ira R. Ferbrache John S. Schachf' A.B., M.A. A.B., M.A. B.S., M.S
