United States history, world geography, and economics-sociology are the courses of- fered in the Social Studies Department. This year, world history has been made asenior courseg but since most seniors have already taken it, it is not included in the cur- riculum. So that anyone who wants world history can study it, however, Miss Helen Wilkin, history teacher, has worked after school with interested seniors. M-f......... 8 Miss Wilkin interprets the Constitution in her U.S. history class. Sophomores in world geography study the geographic advantages and limitations of the countries of the world and acquire an under- standing of the relationship between geography and history. The making of maps and charts and the giving of reports characterize activi- ties in these classes. U.S. history, acourse required of juniors, gives a survey of the history of our country from its discovery to the contemporary scene. This study parallels the study of American literature in junior English. Work in outside references strengthens class discussions about the forces behind current trends in society. In the first semester of economics-sociol- ogy, seniors explore the economic system of the United States, and in the second semester, discuss social relationships.
