In a world of intercontinental missies, hydrogen bombs, and cold war, the only hope for peace is the development of a mutual understanding between the na- tions of the earth. The Social Studies Department of Edsel Ford High School strives to help students understand their own country's values and government, and then to apply their under- standing to other nations. The first course in the social studies sequence involves a study of a simple society such as the Andaman Islanders. Social studies 2 and 3 deal with American values, how they came into being, and the effects of the Industrial Revolution on life and values in the United States. The workings of democracy are investigated in Social Studies 4. Students learn about the dif- ferent branches of government and about their functions. In the last required class, an investigation of clear thinking and its application is made. Re- search papers are an important part of this class, preparing stu- dents for similar work in college. SOCIAL STUDIES The assembled social studies teachers of Edsel Ford are Mr. Robert Dalton, Mr. James Lehman, Miss Doris Doo- little, Mr. Richard Seavitt, Miss Grace Kachaturoff, ami Mrs. Shirley Tolan, Mr. William Levantrosser, with Judy Delya and Patrick Daly at the board, refers to the map in a discussion of democracy and capitalism.

These elective courses strive to guide those students who plan an industrial vocation. There are six fields of industrial education at Edsel Ford. They in- clude drafting, electricity, metal shop, auto shop, printing, and woodwork. As a student progresses in sequence in the area he has chosen, he gains a fuller under- standing of the demands of that field. In all areas the students may become more familiar with the common tools, procedures, and skills required in their vocational or avocational plans.
