SOCIAL SCIENCE The Social Studies Department of Kittanning High School has one aim of paramount importance -to prepare each student for intelligent citizenship in a changing world. To accomplish this purpose ,a program including courses in Civics, American History, World History, and Problems of Democracy, supplemented each year by current topics, offers an oppor- tunity to a pupil to study the institutions and problems of his social world today. From such a study, he should know better how to live, to face facts, to be tolerant of others, and to relate past events to help solve the problems of contemporary life. Finally, each graduate should be better prepared to assume the duties and responsibilities of citizenship as he goes out from Kittanning High School into the world oi tomorrow. xl a Henry Henshey I.
