In addi- tion to the regular work eighth grade groups made a study of newspapers, and ninth graders wrote letters to the heads of various industries they had visited. Films were used to clarify the work of all classes. SOCIAL STUDIES The Social Studies Department at- tempts to create closer relations between history and other subjects.

Maps, visual aids, and current events literature helped to teach ninth grade social studies, Ameri- can history, world history, and problems of democracy, the subjects offered in this department.
