Social tuclies Program Preparec The term social studies came into general use during the nineteen twenties. The social sciences-such as history, government, economics, and sociology-are comprehensive fields of knowledge, logically organized, based upon re- search. The social studies including such related subjects as history, civics, and problems of democracy, comprise elements selected from the social sciences, reinterpreted and organized for teaching and learning purposes in our school. During the late 1930's the term social education came into general use. Many teachers use the term interchangeably with social studies. But regardless of brand name we are concerned more with the quality and quantity absorbed by the students here at Susquehannock hoping that some day all of it will add up to be the social living.

Math and Science The task of the mathematics and science department is to organize and present the mathematics and science courses as a functional part of over-all curriculum. Mathematics is required in the three years of junior high school and in the ninth grade, the student has his choice of either algebra or basic mathematics. Beyond the ninth grade, algrebra ll is offered in the tenth grade, plane geometry in the junior year, and trigonometry and solid geometry in the senior year. The Science Department consists of biology, chemistry, science, physics, and health. The aim of the department is to cover the materials that tie in with the needs of the pupil in various vocations. Many experiments are demon- strated and performed to show some of the practical appli- cations in the various types of work. The laboratory is equipped with a number of charts, models, physical and chemical apparatus to perform the experiments in a simple and understanding procedure and average results are obtained.
