The courses offered in this varied field are civics, geography, American History, Americanism vs. Communism, economics, sociology, and general history. Geography provides a solid foundation in the geographical features of the world. Many things about our state, federal, and local gov- ernments and our rights and duties as citizens are taught in civics. The history of the United States is discussed in detail in the American History classes. A new part of our curriculum this year was the corn- parison of democratic life and socialistic life in Ameri- canism Vs. Communism. The development of the entire world is covered in general history. Economics is a vital and interesting course offered to seniors. It prepares them for life on their own. Sociology, offered the second semester of the senior year, ex- plores social behavior patterns and laws and enables us to understand other people as well as ourselves.
