CHARLES W. LONGENECKER EUGENE W. MILLER 8th Grade History 8th Grade History The aims of any social studies department are varied and numerous. The chief ob- iectives of our social studies department may be summed up as follows: to develop an appreciation for the manner in which our world has grown out of the past, and a con- ception of the past as a standard for the future, to promote desirable behavior, a sense of community obligation, and obedience to law, to inspire respect for America - her heritage, her culture and her people, to teach the value of the democratic system and responsibility to sustain it, and to help students explore ideas and formulate opinion that can lead to constructive self-expression and active citizenship. To attain these ends the social studies department oFfers world history and world geog- raphy in the seventh grade, United States history and geography in the eighth grade, civics and Pennsylvania history in the ninth grade, world history in the eleventh grade, and problems of democracy in the twelfth grade. P.D. can be made very interesting with informal discussion groups. Here MR. WENRICH conducts a group of seniors. BARRY K. WEINHOLD American History MARY S.

it Insufhcient science courses in our schools? This criticism does not apply to Manheim Township High School where, in our well-equipped Science Department, students receive an introduction to the processes of lite and death, learn how and why machines work, get a general view of earth science, and study the structure of many things, from the atom, the smallest unit of matter known, to the hu- man body, the most complex of all living things. With a background in geography, general science, earth science, biology, chemistry and physics, students leave high school with basic knowledge in the several sci- ences as well as an appreciation tor and general compre- hension ot what is taking place in the scientific world. ln addition to the formal classroom work, there is further opportunity for science-minded pupils. Students are en- couraged to enter proiects in the annual Lancaster County Science Fair, the Westinghouse Talent Search, and the contest sponsored yearly by the Pennsylvania Junior Acad- emy of Science.
