Social Sciences Develop Informed Citizens Instilling the basics of American democracy and a spirit of nationalism in students is the goal of the SOCIAL SCI- ENCE department. Under the supervision of Mr. Glen OIney. the department offers courses in American History. American Problems, and American Government. Because of the increased internationalism of the world, courses dealing with the development of man in all countries are also avail- able. Several experimental methods of teaching are being tried this year, including a team teaching system being employed in American Problems. Grades received by students in se- lected American History classes are based only on special projects and their class participation.

Mr. Kenneth Lage is the head of the INDUSTRIAL ARTS deportment. Through his effective leadership, the varied programs under his direction are coordinated.
