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.

Science Courses Challenged Students Students felt the desire to take notes as they learned the basics of science in Mr. Dzubay's modern science classes. . Jizz.. his : ' ----.,g ' ' 7, '-if . J Y, T f 7, The entire science department was geared to accommo- date every student with an interest in science. The bi- ology department offered biology and life science to students who hadn't fulfilled these obligations in junior high school. These subjects taught the intricate workings of nature and how the many living organisms live and survive. Chemistry was offered to accelerated sophomores and to many juniors and seniors as a college preparatory course. Here they learned by experience the results of chemical investigations and reactions. Physics, taught by Mr. Harkness, was concerned with teaching advanced ideas in such subjects as forces, mo- tion, and power. A new program was also originated with the entire group of physics students attending a mass presentation in the auditorium once every week, also taught by Mr. Harkness. For the accelerated seniors with desires to take a final course in science, an integrated science class was offer- ed. Consisting of an advanced combination of biology, chemistry, and physics, it was designed to give these few students an extra course in preparation for a career in science.
