STUDENTS RUN NEYV CLASSES OPICTURED ON THESE PAGES are the ten teachers having the task of instructing Ponce students in various branches of the social sciences. Something new in these courses has come with the introduction hy Dr. C. C. Peters, director of Americanism through social studies, University of Miami, of experimental classes that are student con- trolled as far as the subjects studied dur- ing the semester are concerned. These special courses have embraced American history, senior civies, and sociology. Wlith an industrious class, this experimental course may prove very interesting. The material, in the form of books, pamphlets, etc., for these classes is supplied hy Dr. Peters himself. Last semester, a course was offered in psychology, taught hy Mrs. Herherta Leonardy, which proved very popular with the students taking the course. Equipped with new text hooks that bring the student right through the UN conferences, our world history classes have ample opportunity to study the economic and political aspects of war and peace. -LESTON NAY Mrs. Ruth Johnson, American history Lefl ln right, top to bottom: Mrs. Mary Coover. com- mercial geography, Miss Katherine Davis, American historyg Mrs, Herherta Lennurdy, sociology and de- hnlingg Miss Elhlyn Massey, world historyg Miss Katherine Megihben.
