SOCIAL SCIENCE Social science classes give students the training and background necessary for the successful fulfillment of their responsibilities as citizens of the United States. Through the study of our growth and development, and careful consideration of present-day problems--social, political, and economic-the student may better under- stand our government, its relationships with other na- tions, and the people with whom he will associate in life. Such an understanding of local, national, and interna- tional problems contributes greatly to better citizen- ship for each individual. Ashland High School students graduate with a thorough background in history, geography, and problems. Social science courses in grades seven, eight, eleven, and twelve are required. The student first comes in contact with the high school social science curriculum in seventh grade history and geography, taught by Miss Patten and Miss Kallenbaugh, respectively. Eighth grade so- cial science, conducted by Miss johnson, is divided into two parts. Ohio history is taught in one semester, and civics is offered in the other. World history, taught by Miss Griest, is elective, but many sophomores enroll in it. United States history, an eleventh year subject, is taught by Miss Foust and Miss Griest. Senior social studies, known in Ashland High School as American problems, has been developed into a very interesting course by Mr. Ballou, head of the social science depart- ment, and Mr. Hartzler.

E' V .3 at Ui: 'E 1 0 lL ii fl gf' if Es e r Q, A X X ' rj X A if 5 P SCIENCE More of Ashland High's students than ever before are choosing the sciences as major fields of study, for never in our country's history has there been such a demand for skilled scientific workers. Medicine, industry, and the armed forces-all need personnel with scientific background. Future nurses find Miss Amstutz's hygiene class invalu- able to them, for a complete study of physiology and anatomy is given to the girls. Basic electricity and fundamentals of machines are the two branches of physics, taught concurrently by Mr. Gnagey. A course in light and sound will be added next year. Mr. Gnagey's chemistry students learn from lab- oratory work as well as from textbooks, dividing their time between class work and individual experimenta- tion. The laboratory work supplements class discussion. A good scientific foundation is laid in eighth grade general science classes, taught by Mrs. Sibert. Meteorol- ogy, fundamental astronomy, basic botany, and zoology are some of the units studied by eighth graders. ga Www 2 wif Iwi fl X Required of all freshmen is ninth year general science, taught by Mr. Wander and Miss Amstutz. In this course, background for physics, chemistry, and biology is provided, as all students must have two units of science to graduate. Both botany and zoology are covered in biology, taught by Mr. Wagner. A study of birds, of soil conservation, of insects, and a special, study of dangers to our ex- istence keep biology students busy. Agricultural stu- dents are especially interested in this branch of science. Because of tire and gasoline shortages, Mr. Wagner was forced to postpone field trips, but pupils bring plant and animal specimens to class. Pre-flight aeronautics helps prepare boys to be pilots, for they study meteorology, aerial navigation, opera- tion of engines, plane identification, and civil aeronau- tics regulations. Pupils take turns every morning in reading the weathe. report of the day from government instruments. MARY ELIZABETH AMSTUTZ F. E.

Ashland Cf-111052, Mount Union, B.A.g Ohio State Univer- B.S. in Ed., Western Reserve University sity, M.A' A.C. LOUIS U. TODD E. D. WOLFE Oberlin College, B.A.g Harvard Univer- Ohio State, Kent State University, Co- sity, LL.B. lumbus Business College, Ashland College MATHEMATICS Even before the present war emergency, Ashland High School offered to students every chance to gain a sound basis in mathematical trainingg but the rapid expansion in scientific fields and the demands created by modern warfare call for vastly increased numbers of high school graduates with some knowledge of higher mathematics. To insure that all students will receive at least a prac- tical knowledge of the fundamental processes of arith- metic, courses in mathematics are required in grades seven, eight, and nine. High school arithmetic is intro- duced to seventh graders by Mr. Hartmang eighth grade mathematics is taught by Mr. Wolfe. The latter also conducts a course in refresher mathematics for upper- classmen. For those ninth graders whose prospective vo- cations will not require advanced mathematics, a gen- eral course is offered by Miss Carpenter. It gives review and further practical training in the fundamentals of arithmetic plus a short study of elementary algebra. Ninth grade students who wish to continue in mathe- matics may take first year algebra, taught by Miss Franz, head of the mathematics department. Mr. Todd follows through with plane geometry in the tenth year and half year courses in advanced algebra, solid- geometry, and trigonometry for juniors and seniors. Next year a full year's course in advanced algebra will be offered. All mathematics courses in the upper classes are elective.
