We discover our relationship to world events 1.-sstiwi.-..,.s.t . 7 Y Seated: Dorshelmer. Standing: Filipink, Horton, McClellan, Abbott, Wells, Thorpe. Social is defined as of human society . Social Studies, therefore, is the study of human societies, from the Egyptians in Sophomore World History, through the Junior's early American History, to the study of our present-day world by Seniors in both American History and optional courses in Economics and International Relations. Current events, the history of tomorrow, is studied at all three levels. Usage of the lecture hall by all grades has made it possible to cover the material in greater depth, an advantage to both teacher and student. Our success- ful Advanced Placement Program was again offered to Juniors. Advanced Placement Social Stud- ies students delved far into American History.
