l S 2 i SOCIAL STUDIES The past, the present, and a glimpse into the future are offered to us in social studies. Why is there revolution, famine, progress, depression? What are the principles of democracy? How did the twisted doctrine of Communism arise? How is the American economy run? These and all the questions a student can dream of are answered. To take a course in social studies is to embark on a fascinat- ing educational voyage. Life takes on a new aspect as we learn about the cultures of other lands, their industrial development, their scientific progress and their needs and problems. We can understand why situations occur and even anticipate new ones which follow the pattern of the old. The modern pace demands that we be familiar with the world in which we live.

LANGUAGES Through languages we are introduced to new and exciting lands, we learn of simple folk, and of famous authors, heroes, and statesmen. Through languages we learn what to say, how to say it effectively, and why. A mastery of one's own langauge is indispensible to all phases of life, a knowl- edge of one or more foreign languages is a necessity as world vision becomes broader and more complex. Visions of France and Gay Paree haunt the dreams of S. Netzer, P. Ciurczak, E. Caterina, and E. Edgette. 'wil
