Social Studies Retell Story of Mankind The history and customs of man influence his life. If we are to have outstanding leaders for our future, then, today, we must learn of the glory and of the failure of our predecessors so their action may direct our decision. The Social Studies department features programs in World History, U.S. History, Government, and Soci- ology. Through films, lectures, and team-teaching, a working definition on the role of man in the develop- ment of the world is explained. World History teaches of the great civilizations of time and of their effect on modern life. U.S. History, specifically treats America in all aspects of foundation and growth. Government instructs young citizens on the laws and practices of the United States, and Sociology deals with man and his relationship with other men. Social Studies are informative and helpful. They enlighten the student by teaching him the wisdom of those who spent lifetimes trying to acquire It. They present an opportunity to study men deemed by his- tory as great, and, through curiosity and appreciation, they encourage some to higher goals in life — the serv- ice of man. mmiM On a day long field trip downtown, Mr. Rickei s Sociology class visits Judge Charles C.
