md Potentates Brandywine offers a tour year, co-ordinated pro- gram of social studies. Freshmen are required to take one semester of Civics and one semester of Ancient History. Included in their course is a two- week survey of vocations and a term paper on a vocation of interest to the student. Sophomores may elect the world history sequel to their ninth grade ancient history, they study world events from 1500 A.D. to the l95O's. Eleventh grade history, a continuation of eighth grade social stud- ies, is required for all iuniors. lt traces United States history from the Civil War period to contemporary America. Problems of Democracy, required for seniors, is divided equally into thirds of sociology economics, and comparative government. To in- crease their understanding of the stock market, the P.O.D. classes heard a stock market broker speak, and then they invested about S88 in the market for the duration of the school year. The money was raised by voluntary student contribu- tions. These courses are designed to accomplish the aims of the department. It is hoped that, as we be- come citizens, we will interpret the local, national, and international situations in terms of what we have learned from the study and discussion of problems of the past and present. The program instills the principles of democracy, and attempts to help pupils build a defensible philosophy of life. Teachers encourage students to do extra, out- side research on topics discussed in classes. Book reports, debates, reports, term papers, and bulletin boards help bring additional information to class periods. MR. NORBERT C. SOLDON Social Studies, World History: 1 U. S.
