Can you name the natural resources of this country? Many of us at Jefferson attach too little signiiicance to the subjects in the Social Studies Department, which are very impor- tant in preparing us for life after We leave Jeff to take a job or go to college by giving us an insight into world and United States affairs. During our freshman year at jeff, we get our iirst taste of social studies in an orienta- tion class. This class is for the purpose of acquainting us with our new school, teach- ers, and schoolmates. It is necessary to acquaint every beginning student with the information he needs. World history is the study of the condi- tions of the world in which we live and is oi-tered as an elective subject in our sopho- more year.
