Diane MclVlillin, Kinley Rich- ard, and Nancy Sayre compare maps in history. A group in Mr. Herriot's History 6 class take advantage of visual aides to make history more interesting and understandable. The projector belongs to Langley, but the Board of Education supplies the films. Illllllllll Clllllllll Another variety of subjects, some compulsory and some elective, is the social studies group, They include such subjects as United States and world history, American government, sociolf ogy and social science. Social Science, usually given to ninth graders, gives a general knowledge of our post office, Congressional, and other na' tional systems. American government goes deep into the Constitution, while American history starts with Columbus and nnishes at the present, Wcyrld history covers from 4000 B. C. to almost 2000 A, D., while sociology deals with the home. marriage, and human behavior. This curriculum is given in the hope that those wh 1 are well informed of the mistakes of others will not make the same mistalces, and that soon our world will he a safe, sane, and peaceful world in which to live.
