KNOWLEDGE of the SOCIAL SCIENCES Here are four prospective elementary school teachers looking over some of their material in the special Education Library. They are Mary Jo Chiarelli, Marianne and Kathryn Kretschmer, and Mary Agnes Lynch. A knowledge of the social sciences leads us to understand peoples, to work with them and for them. Through courses in education we may obtain teacher certificates for both ele- mentary and secondary schools. Our student nurses may follow a three-year or four-year plan. The Sociology Department equips some of us each year to fill the need for social workers in our city. And our Home Eco- nomics Department prepares us to be good home-makers. Gloria O’Keefe cuts out a costume for one of the characters in Once in a Blue Moon. Co- operation of Departments makes for harmony.
