ANTHEL MAHLIN Social Studies B.S. Degree. Arkansas State M.A. Degree, Peabody College The field of social studies is taken over largely by Mr. Marlin, who in- structs students in American history, American government, Missouri his- tory, world history, psychology and health. Learning the history of our coun- try and understanding the past and present day government processes are the two main objectives in the courses of American history and American government. Missouri history gives the student the basic knowledge of the state he lives in. World history relates the rise and decline of many empires. Health and psychology enable the student to comprehend himself more fully. Nu QGKATORY Richard CDickieD Miller, Nellie Groves, Larry Huddleston and Oliver Burris follow Mr. Marlin as he outlines the main arteries in the body's circulatory system, SOCIAL STUDIES LINK PAST AND PRESENT Mr. Mills, Iudy Pearson and Sonny Neely make a study in economics class of the prosperities and depressions oi United States business.

Citizenship brings out the importance of good citizens which have a basic knowledge of governmental operations. The science of economics deals with the satisfaction of man's needs. This also includes the management of the affairs of a government or community with ref- erence to its source of income, its expen- ditures, and the development of its na- tural resources. Mlwnlunmm

STUDENTS SECURE BUSINESS BACKGROUND The commercial department, taught by Mr. William Whitfield, carries four full year courses, and two one-half year courses. One credit is gained each for bookkeeping, secretarial prac- tice, shorthand, and typing: and one-half credit is given each for business arithmetic and applied business law. The purpose presented by these skill subjects is to acquaint students with business practice that will serve as a background for ad- vanced business work. In business arithmetic the student is taught the business knowledge necessary for everyday living with math. Commercial law acquaints the student with terminology so that he may understand simple legal procedures and documents. The vocational skills are shorthand, typing, bookkeeping, and secretarial practice. The stu- dent's knowledge of bookkeeping is furthered by the aid of two practice sets, from which much benefit can be derived by diligent study. Sec- retarial practice broadens and builds the typing skill of the student. In all commercial subjects, the value gained from concentration will be a valuable asset to the student in later life. WILLIAM R. WHITFIELD B. S. Degree Central Missouri State College Mr. Whitfield demon- strates the proper use of the electric mimeograph to Mary Esther Wickham, Anna Iesse and Ianet Flier, as part of their training in office practice. Sue Steen, Alan Pruitt, Kym Schopp and Nellie Groves endeavor to improve their typing skills during a practice period.
