Members of the SOCIAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT sought to impress students with the lessons learned from past experiences. Hopefully, the tragic pattern of wars and de- struction would not be repeated bv succeeding generations. Of equally great import was the growth in understanding peoples of different backgrounds and ethnic origins and broadening of view- points. Students were guided in the study of man and the development of his cultures, social structures, po- litical organizations, and economic systems by the social science teach- ars. Students were able to relate this newly-acquired knowledge to the international situation. To un- derstand current affairs, both the reasons behind them and the sig- nificance in the modem World. they had to grasp a thorough under- standing of man's social evolution. -isi- . ,A s , 3 'I .V Tl A :asf NY 6661? is sys ii: 332331. fix. f fares.

Self-realization of their own potential was fulfilled by the members of the ENG- LISH DEPARTMEN T. No longer restricted to the teaching of traditional grammar, the department enlarged its scope to in- clude the complete humanities. Mr. Don Ringler and Mr. Hal Silverman created a stimulating and challenging program for teaching the humanities. Thus stu- dents expanded their knowledge by the study of philosophical traditions and intellectual and literary trends. A significant element of the fresh program was team teaching. Different teachers delivered lectures on various subjects to large sessions of classes: then, smaller seminar groups discussed in depth the ideas presented in the lec- ture sessions. Lecture material was sup- plemented by a series of films, and ad- ditional reading was assigned, with an emphasis on the Classics. Complacent students found their minds' stirred by controversial ideas that have occupied men's thoughts since antiquity. i s Miss Patricia DeStefano Mrs. Elizabeth Clark English English Girls' IRC A'clvisor Blue and White, NFL Advisor Dr. Elvin Hedgecock Mrs. Kay Hurliman English English zwgggggfwtasf. .

Some of the practical courses given were typ- ing and machine calculating. Other courses were planned to supplement the knowledge of commercial transactions necessary to handle, satisfactorily, the business dealings of daily life. The INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT offered a Variety of subjects including crafts, woodwork, cold metal, sheet metal, beginning and advanced auto shop, automotive machine shop, and welding.
