Social Studies Courses Give Understanding Social studies classes at Edsel Ford attempt to help students understand the American way of life. These courses prepare the student for an active role in our society as a citizen. Within this department students learn that the values which they possess are part of the society and culture in which they live. Cultures which are different from our own in terms of values are also studied to bring about a better understanding of our own values. At Edsel Ford there are seven courses offered in the social studies division. The first five courses are re- quired of the students. After completing this necessary sequence of courses, two electives are offered to 12A's. These electives are Cultural Geography and World Cultures. In all seven social studies courses, great em- phasis is placed on values which motivate life and upon the interrelationships existing among institutions and events. Mr. Thomas Barrett, Mr. Byron Brown, Mr. Pat Daly, Miss Doris Doolittle, Mr. David Frye and Mr. Ray Howe make up part of the social studies depart- ment. Miss Grace Kachaturoff, Mr. James Lehman.
