Antioch Law, Economics TULLLA C. BOWERS A. B. Wittenberg History Social Science plays an important part in the school curriculum, states Mr. Glenn Det- ling, department head. These studies-which include World, American, vocational, and cur- rent history, law, economics, sociology, and psychology-help the students in adjusting themselves socially and in getting along in government and institutions. These various subjects explain the system by which our great, though complicated, laws and government operate. Thus, students can prepare them- selves for the solution of practical problems, and they therefore become good, intelligent citizens. FRANZ J. BRICKMAN A. B. Wittenberg M. A.

Wittenberg Chemistry, Physics ff it One-half of the students in Springfield High School are studying science: Biology, chem- istry, senior science, or physics. In most cases they will tell you that they enjoy it. The students have discovered for themselves that in a world at peace or in a world at war, some knowledge of the many phases of science is quite essential to the understanding, appre- ciation, and application of various skills which they may be called upon to learn and exploit. The trend in life has been toward more com- plexity and a knowledge of science tends to make that path a little better understood and perhaps a little easier. Gi V-fly, l ARTHUR B. SHAFFER 3 A. B.

Wittenberg Sociology, Vocational H istory New to SHS this year were the forums pre- sented in assembly by the history department. Students under the supervision of Mr. Glenn Detling led the discussions on United States' foreign policy before the war, the checks and balance system, and the peace after the war. The chairman presiding at the forums first called on the speakers, who gave a short dis- cussion of a subject relative to the main topic. Each speaker having finished, the chairman then threw the forum open for discussion by the student body, who were free to question the speakers. In a similar manner, current events are dis- cussed every day in the history classes. DANIEL F. ACKERMAN A. B. Wittenberg M. A. Columbia Economics, World History ROBERT B. ROLFES A. B.
