SOCIAL STUDIES Carole Cooper and classmates wait for the bell to ring. History ... psychology ... sociology ... geography ... All are subjects which serve to broaden our horizons and pre- pare us for the odyssey that lies ahead. We can learn about society in other lands, society in ancient times, or society right here at home in history and sociology. Psychology can help us unlock the mysteries of the human mind, and geography to unlock the mysteries of the earth. With a variety of courses, a stu- dent at Dearborn can be sure of a good education in the Social Sciences. As with all departments at DHS, the Social Studies department lost some teachers. With the departure of Mrs. Guth and Mrs. McCann, Dearborn gained Dr. McConnell as a history teacher. All of these teachers have helped to broaden our horizons.

Over 50 courses (25 each semester) covering composition, lit- erature, speech and journalism in varying degrees of difficulty, allow students to choose subjects suited to their abilities and needs whether it be college-prep type classes, or courses in practical com- position and speech for careers. There are also remedial reading and reading lab classes for those who are having difficul- ties in reading speed and comprehen- sion. The department is proud of its diver- sity in its continuing concern for optimum student achievement in the English lan- guage area. 9
