Central Dauphin's Social Studies Department is preparing their students in all fields of history, both past and present. To be a well-versed person, an ample knowledge of Social Studies is needed. United States History, the starting point for sophomores, explains itself, as does World History for juniors. The seniors study toclay's history and all its aspects, so named Problems of Democracy. Among the few schools to do so, Central Dauphin includes World War II in its history curriculum. This aids in giving all students a well-rounded education. When people practice the truth and fully understand each other, many national and local problems are solved, some never arise. One of the best places to get the understanding and truth, so badly needed, is in a classroom, a Central Dauphin classroom. As many people profit from others' mistakes, so history students profit from the mistakes and accomplishments of our ancestors. Our descendants, also, will profit from the mistakes, experiments, and ideas in motion in our generation. MR. JOHN G. MUNTONE Problems of Democracy, Sociology. Penn State Uni- zersity, B.S.
