MACCIO B.S. in Ed., M.A. in Ed., Seton Hall University U.S. History CHARLES H. TYCER B.S., Indiana State College U.S. History The New Deal The most important reason for the study of world and modern history is to prepare everyone to be working and useful contributors to our free society. It is important not only to understand what causes and events have contributed to making our country and other countries of the world what they are today, but to understand and appreciate the problems and changes facing us both now and in the future. The Social Studies Department of Long Branch has made this their chief goal. The Department, under the direction of Miss Martha Taylor, has been experimenting this year with several innovations in an effort to make the courses now offered even more effective. For the first time this year, senior history students have been given the opportunity of taking a special advanced placement course in modern United States history, taught by Miss Taylor. In addition, a pilot course is now offered to members of the new Freshman Class, in which two years of Miss Taylor shows the class the United States at a glance.
