Social Studies Emphasize Knowing Del Jones Ronald Walker Gregory Sanford Community Service Varsity Basketball Department Head mm I In today ' s troubled world, the importance of cultural study within one ' s country cannot be overlooked, nor can it be under- stated. The keynote of all history study can be summed up in the statement: He who knows the past understands the present; and he who has an understanding of the preesnt has the key to the future. Four years of study are now required for all students. Fresh- men are required to take Washington History and World Geogra- phy. Sophomores must take World History and the following year, United States History. A new system of contemporary world prob- lems, economics, and government are courses available to seniors on a nine-week basis. Economics is the science that deals with the production, distri- bution and consumption of wealth, and with the various related problems of labor, finance and taxation. Government is a tool devised by man to enable him to live the best possible life and when it is no longer able to meet his needs, it should be changed. Sociology is the study of the development, organization, and problems of society and social groups. This has proved to be one of the most popular history classes at North Central. This course is •designed to help the students better understand themselves, their fellow man and their environment.
