Social Science The history of today's people-be it proud or shameful, full or barren, or an amalgam of these-is taught to Marian students by the members of the social science department. At Marian, man's relationship to his environment is approached in four ways. The object of World History is to instill in the mind of the student the idea of a world evolved from animal skins and stone hatchets to space travel and the conflict in South- east Asia. American History specializes: a nation born of fallen patriots, fine red coats, and a declaration, develops to maturity. With periodicals and newspapers for textbooks, Current History Seminar questions this maturity and that of other nations. A new addition to the social science department, World Geography, shows the inter-dependence which exists between people and their land. Yesterday's people, today's people, and today's world are shown to Marian students. They learn the lessons that these have to give, and draw the blueprint for the- world that they will have to build. - X Sister Mary David's second period history class carries on an animated discussionl Sister Mary Albertus Judy Napoleon leads an interested group of seniors in history. gh EA:-Q 2 L! if .412 Sister Mary David drums our a series of interesting facts. 25

In our aero-space age, mathematical projection and precision measurement are increasingly important. The student who expects to find a place in an automated society cannot be content to be able to figure out percent rates or the per mile price of gasoline. He must, instead, learn to think mathematically, to handle number, symbol, structure, function, and space with confidence. He must be ready to apply this' mathe- matical language in a disciplined way, or to use it as a basis for advanced study. Besides its program of modern mathematics the department provides for able students by encouraging them to participate in courses for advanced senior high school students held at such places as the Illinois Institute of Technology and by inviting guest speak- ers to address them and confer with them. Geometry students prove complex problems. si . L I Sister Mary Blaise Sister Mary Samuel'
