SGCIAL STUDIES The purpose of our Social Studies De- partment is to give the student a varied course throughout his four years so that by graduation he has acquired a funda- mental knowledge of government and its principles. During ninth grade he is taught Pennsylvania History. In tenth grade he is introduced to World History. United States History is thoroughly cov- ered in helping him to understand the present problems of our nation, and in twelfth grade he meets these problems face to face in Problems of Democracy. This basic knowledge of government through the centuries helps him under- stand history today and prepares him for self-government in our democracy.
