To the topics that ap- pear in the local news- paper the teachers in the Social Studies de- partment ask the ques- tion, why? The prob- lem of the student is to find the logical answer to that query, and to support it with logical reasons. lt is really in this field that the youth of the school prepare themselves for citizen- ship for tomorrow, The history of man and the manner in which he obtains his wants, and his hindrances and opportunities in doing so, are portrayed in a clear and concise manner to the students by the lectures of teachers and by text books, Each student is given unbiased information as to why conditions exist as they are today. This department teaches them the value of citizenship and encourages them to make themselves worthy of living in the land of the treo and the home of the brave. SOCIAL STUDIES

Along with the regular English course, the school his seen fit to institute a Senior Book Club for the use of the Seniors. Not to be outdone, the students of the lower classes subscribe for outside reading material. The English three classes find much interest in the Readers Digest while the Scholastic magazine has found a permanent place in English two, English teachers in Fairport High School make it a point to make their classes interesting, as well as to give their pupils the principles of the English language.
