Our Tense, Changing World Was Thought-Provoking SOCIAL STUDIES A successful society requires well-adjusted citizens and leaders. The social studies department conducted two new projects to help prepare students for their role in later life. The first was a class which emphasized the relationship of the individual to the problems of our past and present societies. Mr. Match, the instructor, brought the areas of political science, sociology, history, and economics into the course. Mr. Wedlock, working in conjunction with Mrs. Nettles and Mr. Shelton, taught United States History with a stress on leadership. Through the courses offered in the department, students acquired knowledge, the willingness to learn, and the ability to think. Mr. George W. White, Social Studies Department Chairman. MR. ROBERT M.
