Drewry SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT From the beginning of recorded time to the most recent current events lies the span of history in- vestigated by the Social Studies De- partment. Headed by Miss Bartlett, the nine teachers strive to inspire students with an appreciation of the ideas of American democracy, as well as an understanding and respect for other nations. Two-thirds of PHS's students are enrolled in the many courses offered by this departmentg civics, economic geography, ancient history, world geography, world history, and two years of American history. History students are encouraged to explore various types of source material for book reports and proj- ects, and then to formulate their own opinions about the significance of these phases of history. The wide scope of courses offered allows each student to discover an interest in this fascinating field. Hirlory .rtuderzlf dirplay projertr of the ancient world. lm

Through French, German, and Spanish classes the Modern Lan- guage Department, headed by Mr. Soda, seeks to present students with a knowledge of the spoken and written tongue, the literature of nations, and an appreciation of other people and their customs. Little if any English is spoken in classes where emphasis is placed on serious literature, grammar, and composition. Students also attend lectures on major works and phi- losophies at Princeton University. Interest in le Cercle Francais, travel, and study abroad is also promoted by the seven teachers, all of whom have traveled or studied in the country whose language they teach.
