Ft'B d C lr IT' The Department of Social Studies has an important role in preparing each student for a successful future. Social Studies is a broad field encompassing many as- pects of our environment, social, political, economical, and geographical. The student, through a study of the required courses - American History, World History, and World Affairs, develops an appreciation for his heritage, an understanding of the construction and the function of his government, a realization of his respon- sibilities in our society, and an insight into the economic structure of our government. Realizing his individual im- portance in our convulsive world of today, the student actively participates in class activities. This prepares him for the part he will be obligated to maintain in the com- munity. Social Studies gives the student an opportu- nity to study governments and peoples of other coun- ERNEST B. FRICKE HULDA M. MILLER tries .and to understand better and appreciate their differences. Junior High Geography and Senior High World Geography are two other sources our students have for widening their perspective and understanding the changing world in which we live. ln the World Geography course offered at Northern, which is open to all iuniors and seniors as an elective, a general knowledge is received about the topography of the world, the climatic conditions, and the economic situ- ations. By studying Social Studies and using the knowledge provided, we will help to keep our nation a growing and dynamic country. One can easily see that Northern High School is trying its best to keep the pace with the trend toward modern education and in its own way is striving to prepare the students for their future.
