SOCIAL STUDIES Economics is a science that attempts to explain how people make a living. We are endeavoring to make an in- tensive study of the terms required for the meaningful reading of writings in economics. A careful study of money and banking, including the history of the development and use of money, the role of money in the United States, and banking as it affects money and credit, is necessary to understand the current eco- nomics problems of our country. In United States and World History, we are studying the records of man's life from the past to the present. Those who cann tt remember the past are condemned to repeat it. The Home Economics program should be available to all ages and both sexes. Because all ages and both sexes are members of homes, they need to become better able to understand our changing society. The kind of home and family life for America's future rests in the hands of the boys and girls who are now in school. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that these young people have training in home and family living. Values instilled in their lives today will be transmitted to the families which they will bring up to carry on the future homes of America. HOME ECONOMICS

The freshman, who are taking the general course and not preparing for college, are offered General Modern Mathematics - a review of all fundamental operations in arithmetic. In their sophomore year, they usually take Busi- ness Arithmetic. Students taking the college preparatory courses take algebra I their freshman year, followed by Geometry their sophomore year. Algebra II is offered the third year for students wishing to continue their math in preparation for college. GUIDANCE The guidance program provides counseling for pupils who have special problems which interfere with their success in school. The program also provides means by which all pupils may obtain help in planning the work which they will do or the higher education which they will seek. Our ultimate goal is to have each pupil choose for himself that which will utilize his interests and abilities to the fullest.
