LATIN AMERICAN HISTORY— Rich Young read an interesting article from a current magazine during Mr. Scarborough’s Latin Ameri- can History class. Student Understanding of Hobart High School requires two years of social studies. Junior students took the first of these two years when they studied U. S. History. Juniors were taught the past of America through the use of textbooks, maps, lectures, and descriptive magazines. Government was a required senior course. During the year seniors learned about all the departments of our federal, state, and local governments. Passing laws, vot- ing, and petitions were studied. One of the many elective history courses was World History I, II. Students were taught the achievements and growth of man from his very beginning. Latin American History is a course not offered at many high schools, but which was available at Hobart this year. During this one semester course students studied the history of Central America and its affects on the United States. Asian- African History was still another new course. The dark continent of Africa and the large continent of Asia were studied in this class. Economics was also considered a social studies course. In this class the economic development of the United States was closely observed. Sociology and Psychology were two additional one semester courses offered. They both dealt primarily with the advancement of man and his adaptations to changing times. In psychology students probed man s subconscious to find out why he thinks and acts . as he does. Sociology explored the world of man’s social en- vironment and acceptances. Communism was a part of the senior government course which was taught for the first time last year. Students were taught about the Communists and their government. Today s Modern Problems UNITED STATES HISTORY— U. S. History events were explained in detail by history and government teacher, Mr. Edquist. 29
