Through these courses students acquire not only a knowledge of a foreign language but they gain a better understanding and appreciation of the English language. Studying for quizzes in American Government, answering questions in World His- tory and making American History reports are only a few of the requirements which keep upperclassmen busy in social studies courses. Eighth graders have social study classes during their Esso periods while Freshmen have the choice of either World Geography or Social Studies I. SOCIAL STUDIES JOHN C. BOSWELL U. S.
