The department includes courses in the following subjects: civics, the study of governmentg economics, dealing with the nation's economic lsystemg American and world history, courses concerned with national and international affairs of the past and present. Each subject has special activities. Economics students are favored with several field trips per year to banks and business concerns throughout the city. In order to make more clear the prob- lems of government, qivics students enact the basic governmental offices. Twice a year the Hi Park library undergoes a change of atmos- phere when throngs oflAmerican history pupils settle down to their term theme toil. Separate from the social science department yet related to it because of their concern with human affairs are the psychology courses offered as electives to upperclassmen. l l l l 1 i r l i i 1

Physics ' BUNSEN BURNERS AND FROGS Curiosity killed the cat, but it is the driving force behind Hi Park science students as they seek to uncover the secrets of science and nature. Responding to the urgent national call for scientists, Hi Park trained 575 students in science classes this year. Taking the science spotlight in October was a series of lectures presented by Mr. D. C. Evans from the Oak Ridge Tennessee Laboratories. These lectures explained basic processes behind solar energy, space travel, power reactors and use of isotopes. Outside projects are included in all the science classes. Physicists prepare reports on atomic energy, chemists try their hand at experiments, and biologists are found in the most peculiar places obtaining material for their leaf and in- sect collections.

That is a problem . . faced by almost every driver sooner or later. Students of Highland Park safety education classes, unlike many other drivers, learn how to cope with this problem. Even more practical are the rules of good driving and politeness on the road taught to aspiring student drivers. As the cars of the safety education class roar off into the distance, one can hear familiar sounds coming from the two gyms. The gyms form an important part of our school life. In- cluded in this part of our daily program is an intramural program for the girls and a team line-up for the boys. About midway between the two gyms is the armory. Now just how many of us can put a rifle together? This is a routine problem for our R.O.T.C. Even more familiar to us is the dron- ing Hup 2, 3, 4, Hup 2, 3, 4 of the company commander as another class of cadets is marched outside for a period of drill instruction. Drills, tactics, marksmanship, and map-reading-all are taught as a regular phase of the R.O.T.C. train- ing schedule in an effort to produce leaders better fitted to assume responsibility in the future years of America.
