Social Science Helped Students Solve The social science department provided three required courses for WHS students. ln addition, one elective was offered to seniors. These courses were taught by fourteen teachers under the direction of Nlr. Lee, department head. Another special course in this department was debate, coached by lVlr. Marquardt. Only those students that were selected during their sophomore year were eligible for the class. They analyzed and discussed this year's question on foreign aid. They then participated in tournaments throughout Wisconsin. The tenth grade student, in the required world history course, gained a conception of the political, economic, and religious problems that have affected other countries. This world picture helped him to understand the arena in which his own country is playing a part. The eleventh grader reviewed the early background of his country. He studied in detail the history of the United States since the Civil War with emphasis on its growth as well as its political, economic, and social problems and their relationship to the rest of the world. ln sociology the senior attempted to understand the forces that shape and mold the human personality and applied this knowledge to his own life. Those seniors who elected economics were able to get a greater insight into the oper- ation of our economy and were able to more intelligently apply these basic principles to his own economic life. jgtd' 4-an D.
