Here in Pocatello High School, one tirst of all has a comprehensive course in world history. Fol lowing this ,social science courses in subjects closely related to history are taught. Students may study geography, which teaches of the earth on which we live, economics, which deals with man's wealth-get ting and wealtheconsuming relationships, and sociol ogy, which is a study of human relationships. Social science is completed in the senior year with a course in American history and government. The depart- ment sponsors debate and cooperates with the speech and English classes in the American Legion oratorical contests and junior oratoricals, which pre- pare the speakers tor the War Fund Drive of the American Red Cross. English is a highly important tool ,a guide to the intelligent use of leisure ,a guardian of our cul- tural treasures. Our composition courses help us to talk and to write more effectively. The literature courses are valuable in giving us fascinating selec- f. . . ions from modern literature as well as the tried and true from the classics. alfa A f'U1 2' B 'L. 3un.- Mrs. Mercer supervises the girls while they are stirring up a batch of brownies.
