To improve the world in which we live, we must leorn from the experiences of others and not make the same mistakes twice. Through the study of the social sciences, students learn such things as the reasons for the fall of Rome, the depression of 1939, political downfalls, and world wars. The social sciences not only teach the faults of the past but also teach a student how the world in which he lives came to be . . . how our democratic government has developed, the inventions that led to the huge car industry of the U.S., why tariffs and other trade barriers are set up between coun- tries, and the reasons for hostility between the U.S. and other countries. Through The Experiences Of Others Is Basis Mr. Munch sips coffee between the major points of economics. Government students learn court procedures through mock trial. For Social Science Youth are constantly becoming more important and more involved in world affairs. Boys just out of high school find themselves fighting for their country and the ideas that it believes in. Other youth go to foreign countries to work in the Peace Corps, while some work in the under- developed prts of the U.S. Voting rights for the 18 year old are con- stantly being discussed. The Social Sciences prepare the Youth of North to take their place in life as better informed citizens. Students and their advisers work in the concession stand. ELSIE WILMETH Drake, B.S.
