Social Studies Stresses Mou and Mis World Information and understanding of the world affairs to which our attention is so often directed is necessary to obtain a good foundation in social studies. With this in mind, the F.T.S. social studies department strives to instill an understanding and in- terest of world affairs into each student in the particular social studies course he is taking. Through the presentation of the important events, problems, and milestones in the history of man, social studies stu- dents learn the principles that have guided men throughout history in making their decisions. Many helpful social studies courses are offered at F.T.S. World history is open to sophomores and seniors. This course deals with man and his world from the time of his existence to the present. United States History is required of all juniors. This course is taught both by television and by regular classroom method. Television stu- dents have a half hour of television and one half hour of classroom discussion. A variety of elective courses offered by the social studies department provide an op- portunity for the student to supplement his interest in this area with other subjects. These subjects are government, world geography, sociology, and economics. Con- temporary history is a course which ex- amines current world problems and his- tory. Students wishing to take contempor- ary history must receive special approval before being able to register for it. Pausing before answering a student’s question, Mr. Landreth leads a discussion on the flags of the fifty states. MR. ROBERT R.

business Department Offers Actual Work Sfcperienee Through the specialized curriculum of the Busi- ness Department, students are given the opportunity to gain valuable experience in actual job situations. With the co-operation of Fayetteville merchants and businessmen, many students participating in the Vocational Office Training or Distributive Educa- tion program are placed in paid positions which amount to 10 hours a week working time. Also in conjunction with the Vocational Office Training program, directed by Mrs. Dorothy Sasser, many students are employed by the Fayetteville City School System. These perform secretarial serv- ices here at our school and at various schools throughout the citv. Some work directly for the Administration at the Neill A. Currie Administra- tion Building. Dr. Thomas H. Price, director of the Distribu- tive Education program, instructs his students in areas such as buying and selling, advertising, and managerial duties for part of the school day. The remainder of the day is divided between academic studies and a paid job which Dr. Price assists the student in finding. Students not interested in immediate employ- ment may develop and practice business skills by taking advantage of such courses as Office Prac- tice, Typing, Bookkeeping, Business Law, and Shorthand.
