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.
