In short, science fits the individual to better understand and appreciate the world in which he lives. SOCIAL STUDIES Mr, Longley, Mrs. Fritz, Mrs. Daly, Miss Smith, Mr. Bart- lett Miss Sprout, Miss Went, Miss Sullivan, Miss Haight, Miss Wade HE Social Studies Department offers the student a series of courses that covers the history of the world from 4000 BC. to the present, There is a required course in American History for Seniors and one in citizenship for Freshmen. Upperclassmen may take a half year course in economics. During any half year we have enrolled in these courses more than l300 students. The courses try specifically to help students understand and adapt themselves to the world in which they live. The importance of democracy and of the democratic attitude is brought out in class management and in class discussion. Students see that the present has grown out of the past, they understand that the fundamental problems of today are similar to those of yesterday, and they learn what part they themselves may play in the world around them.
