Mr. Joseph F. Fox, M.A. Moderator 4F Havocs Chaimaan Social Studies Department American History I American History II socm L STUD It For many years the Social Studies Department had been search- ing for a course that would effectively present the basic facts about the various countries of the world-a course which would dwell mainly on natural resources, topography, industry, trade routes, and population of the countries. It was not until this year, however, that Our World and It's People , a suitable text books for such a course, was available. Thus Economic Geography is presented to all Freshmen. The Department also offers the other basic Social Studies courses, American History for Juniors and Seniors, and World History for Sophomores. American Government, a political science class, is offered as an elective to Seniors. In order to augment classroom work, several special projects were sponsored by different sections of the Department. To bring students into more intimate contact with history and to keep the students well informed in current events was the purpose of these projects. Such things as trips to places of historical interest, special reports given by students, lectures by political and labor oflicials, and the viewing of movies on historical topics helped to make the study of history both interesting and informative. So that students will be better qualified to meet the challenges of their time, the Social Studies Department endeavored to provide them with a useful background knowledge of World affairs. Only in such a manner can better Catholic citizens be formed. Other members of the Department not pictured here Were: Bro. Anthony Ipsaro, S.M., Bro. Paul Quinn, S.M., Bro.
