After all the votes have been cast, govern menf students tackle the task of counting precious votes. Because history repeats itself, a study of the past is necessary to all. N.H.H.S. offers three history courses: world history. United States history, and United States government. Anyone desiring a major in social studies may take world history. It is a study of the world from prehistoric times to present day events. World history shows the student the relationship of one country to another in war and in peace. United States history is a required course for all juniors. It teaches of the founding of America as a colony and its growth and development until the American Revolu- tion. Then follows a study of the economic, social, cultural, and political developments up until the present day. Some classes also study current events, holding debates and informal discussions on past and present situations, and give book reviews. These are basically in the team- teaching classes— another first this year— where there ore several teachers to instruct. United States government is the second required social studies course, and it is taken in the senior year. It is the study of the beginning of our government, its founda- tion, and make-up. The Constitutions of the United States and of the state of Indiana are examined for a better understanding of our governmental system. As future voters, we must be well-informed in the mechanisms of government. Psycology and sociology, in addition to history, are considered in the field of social studies. Psychology is the study of man ' s actions with the individual person, whereas sociology deals with an entire society. The customs, speech, and mannerisms of a country ' s people, or a sec- tion of the country, are studied for their beginnings and background.
