BS: B.A. Social Studies Social Studies Social Studies Head Coach It’s time for notebook check in Miss McEwen’s world history class—Tommy Culotta, Gerry Dickerson. Studying the events of the past and reading current news, classes in American history and Mississippi history review the growth of the nation and our state, and keep abreast of daily happenings in these troubled times. World history students read the story of ancient and medieval civiliza- tion and relate it to the events of modern times. Geography classes study the physical aspects of various countries and learn of their interdependence in trade and com- merce. Courses in economics and sociology give students an opportunity to study governmental, economic, and sociological problems. Our well-rounded social studies curri- culum gives the MHS graduate an appre- ciation of our heritage and prepares him for responsible citizenship in a democracy. American histcry students Delilah Holmes and Ronnie Wilkinson use the largest atlas they can find for their map work.

The mathematics curriculum consists of general mathematics in the seventh and eighth grades, and general mathematics, plane geometry, advanced mathe- matics, and three years of mathematics are of- fered as unit courses. These courses are designed to teach stu- dents the importance of neatness and accuracy and to prepare those who plan to attend col- lege for further study in mathematics. The stu- dent is made aware of the increasing importance of mathematics in his every day life, and each individual is encouraged to pursue his studies in the field to the extent of his ability.
