SOCIAL SCIENCES PRCVIDE FOUNDATIONS Any person who lives successfully in these modern times must have certain foundations of learning beneath him. The Social Science Department provided many of these foundations this year. Sociology, taught by Mrs. Marion Gammel, is a study of man and his relations between groups, and so forth. A study of sociology is invaluable in fields such as public relations. The study of economics is very importantg it helps one to understand world conditions and to be a better citizen. Through economics one can better judge how to vote wisely. At the end of the first semester economics gave way to government, which gave a background to the way our country and others are run. Mr. Coode, who has been on the faculty for two years, taught this class. Of course history is always important, because it is the basis of the other social sciences. World history and Amer- ican history were both taught - world history to sopho- mores, American to juniors and seniors. Anywhere you went you might see someone studying history at the last minute. Here you havc theni-the tools ol' the teaching, txafle.

Mary Ruth is about to go crazyg those totals just won't add up! 'tHunt and peck turns into a skilled typing under the guidance of the teachers in the Business Department. BUSINESS DEPARTMENT IS CHARACTERISTICALLY BUSY The Business Department was under the able direction of Mrs. Campbell, Miss Browder, and Miss King. Many students studied under these teachers, and most of the classes were full. Several first year typing classes were held each day, as was one second year class. These classes weren't domif nated by girls, as it might seemg many boys also took typing. Often as students or teachers walked down the hall between classes, they were startled by sudden clatteringg this was caused by the timed writings. These typing classes were held in a large room with about forty typewriters. First and second year shorthand classes were held in another regular-sized classroom which was also provided with typewriters. The Future Business Leaders of America, sponsored by Mrs. Campbell, was composed mostly of short- hand students. The Business Department has also sponsored the annual for several years. Maybe a code expert would help in this case.
