Social Science HE Social Science Department is one of the most important departments in the Burlington High School. Its chief aim is to train the students for better citizenship by giving them a fuller knowledge of the laws of our land, to develop cultur- al knowledge and to teach an appreciation of current events. A student is permitted to take three years of the sub- iect including one semester of Community Civics and one of an Introduc- tion to World History. The next three semesters include the European background of American History itself. The last lap in the course is a semester of Economics. Besides being very good instructors in their respective fields, many activities, including debate, declamation and the school paper, have benefited from their excellent tutelage. Mr. Tow, debate coach, and Mr. Vieg, faculty adviser for the school paper, have both done their share toward acquiring additional honors for the Burlington High School. There is probably no more popular course given in the high school. Another advantage is that its interest is not limited to any certain class of students, but is open to all those who .are interested. In future years the Social Science Course will probably be made compulsory, but until then it will never be in want of students wishing to better themselves by its study.

'i FW -A SENIORS JI-IIS class, which entered Burlington High School in 1927, was one of the largest ever to make its debut into this well-known institution of learning. During its four years it has carried on its full share of activities, some successfully, some with failure. Now, in 1931, after the usual joys and sorrows of every high school career, one of the most representative classes the school has ever known is about to cross the threshhold of a new era in life. Part of the class plans, of course, to enter college and further its education, while a few less studious ones expect to go to work. Whatever the students may do after graduation, however, it is certain that their lives will be affected by their high school careers in proportion to the services which they have individually rendered while in school. Although there have been comparatively few especially out- standing students, the class as a whole has been well represented. Almost every member proved to have ability in some line. Prob- ably the most outstanding members of the Senior Class of 1931 were: Fritz Holsteen, Business Manager of the Pathfinder and President and Treasurer of the class, Betty Copeland, also Presi- dent and Treasurer of the class and a peppy, all-around leader, Paul Schoell, Captain of the 1931 football team and President and Secretary of the class, and Harriett Bringer, Secretary of the class and Editor-in-Chief of the Pathfinder. From this class also comes some of our most successful de- baters: James Hill and Richard Hahn, athletes: Harold Brunsell, Arthur Sheridan and John Coulter? declaimers: Robert Boese and Doreen Skewes. This class was made up of students of a high scholastic standing, much initiative, pep and enthusiasm. In fact, it has been a class of which any school might well be proud. P T t i
