Foreshadowings of the Future Ralph Polito Social Studies Wrestling Project Committee George Vlasits Social Studies Ski Club, Chess Club Today’s changing world demands that we, the citizens of tomorrow, have a basic understanding of the men and events by which our era has been determined. For it is only through a comprehension of the ideas and ideals which have motivated mankind in the past that we can hope to influence the future. In addition to providing this knowledge, the social studies department endeavors to develop in the student an interest in and an awareness of the world around him. To insure that the student develops this historical perspective, he is required to study two years of American history. For the student with special interest in this field, courses are offered in sociology, psychology, political science, economics, and comparative world governments. Paramus High can be justly proud of its social studies depart¬ ment, which labors continually to instill a sense of citizenship, an interest in government and a desire to be informed, and by so doing, enriches all our lives.
