Social Science Divirion Emlbbelrizer Clare Tier ef All Peopler in World Can you imagine yourself without chocf olate candy, chewing gum, banana splits, and other luxuries of high school life? That is how things would be if there weren't people in other countries working to supply us with these pleasures. The people in Africa work long hours, under a hot sun to supply us with chocof late. The Central Americans toil long to get chicle for gum. Workers in South America carefully tend bananas. Mother's afternoon tea must be picked more than 3,000 miles away in China. Dadls favorite coffee is supplied by Brazilians. Thus we see that though those people may be different in race, religion, back' ground, or economic status we cannot be indifferent toward those who make our lives happier and easier. In the Social Science division, of which Mr. Cscar High is chairman, classes study the background, geography, government, and economics of various countries. In careers, students develop a better underf standing of themselves and those around them. Commercial Classes Practical In commercial classes students make a study of the services that business renders to the community and the way in which these services are to be used to the best advantage of each individual. Such a study makes the pupil a more intelligent citizen. Students of commercial law become aware of the laws governing their conduct in society, which helps them to understand how to live with others. Cther practical courses in this depart' ment include bookkeeping, calculating maf chines, commercial geography, shorthand, and typewriting. Teach Ideal of Democracy In the social studies department, of which Mr. Charles W. Baker is chairman, Page 20 the aim is to teach students to understand the ideals of democracy, freedom, and ecof nomic security in the light of history. Included in this department are general, modern, and United States history, civics, and economics. Economics classes make frequent visits to financial centers in the Chicago area and have speakers from some of the leading businesses address them. Special attention has been given recently to the United Nations Charter and to the organization and meetings of that body. Shops Teach by Doing In the shop classes at Englewood, stuf dents must learn by doing. Shop work, while teaching a useful trade, provides op' portunities for developing desirable perf sonalities, social traits, and leadership. The shop classes begin with a primary course known as Industrial Arts. Machine shop includes a study of power driven machinery, such as the lathe, milling maf chine, shaper, and special measuring devices. Wood shop teaches the value of wood to man and the use of such machines as the wood lathe, the band and jig saws, the electric drills. In print shop, setting type, preparing it for printing, operation of the printing press, and proof reading are taught. In mechanical drawing, accuracy in both measuring and drawing is emphasized. As Mr. Weber stated, Craftsmanship knows no tongue, race or creed. It belongs to all men who are willing to work. We have many problems which require the efforts of individuals with various abilities and the results of cofoperative efforts are the foundations for understanding each other. -MARILYN MUELLER, NITA GOAD, RC3BEllT JONES, MARY F.

.Yczenee Division Trains in Clear Tlnnleing' Aeqnaints .ftuelent with World The Science Division includes four def partments: physical education, home eco' nomics, mathematics, and sciences. Mr. D. C. Atkinson, who has been chairman of the Science Division for two years, says the general aim is to maintain good health and to encourage improvement in clear thinking. Matbenzaties Universal Language Mathematics is the science of numbers and space, it is universal in use, necessity, operations, branches, and meaning. Being universal it affords a common medium of thought and understanding throughout the nations of the world. Acknowledging the importance of this subject, Englewood offers its students esf sential mathematics, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The three main branches of home eco' nomics are clothing, foods, and home management. Study of foods takes in vaf rious phases of modern sciences, cookery, and table service. Home Arts Valuable to Girls ln clothing courses girls learn what colors, materials, and styles of clothing look best on them. They learn how to buy clothing and judge materials. Home management gives a girl a better understanding of family relationships, child care and development, home fur' nishing, and household efliciency. Considering it important that a strong body and healthy mind be developed, the physical education department stresses the development of these qualities through courtesy, tolerance, honesty, and good sportsmanship. Team work is developed in competitive games between classes. Volleyball, captainf ball, and ninefcourt basketball are some of the most enjoyable girls' team games. Boys are taught the fundamentals of football in the fall semester, and basket' ball in the spring. The rest of the time is devoted to body mechanics and volleyball. Sciences Important ln this atomic age, the science departf ment at Englewood is working harder than ever to give students an understanding of the world they will soon enter. ln chemf istry, pupils learn the importance of chem' istry in their everyday lives. A whole new world is opened to them, things which they have taken for granted hold new meaning when they learn the processes which make these things possible. Physics, a subject closely related to chemistry, was just as important in the development of the atomic age. ln these classes the laws of motion, pressure, weight, mass, and others are studied. Students learn to apply these laws to machines, instruments, and mechanical def vices. Properties of electricity are studied in the second semester. Three courses come under the heading of biological sciences, biology, botany, and Zoology. These involve the study of animal and plant life from the lowest onefcell forms to man. General science is required of all freshf men. This gives them an idea of all the they have some basic and can decide which, sciences, so that knowledge of all, if any, they wish to study further.
