Social Science Social Science is the field of work which includes courses in history, eco- nomics, sociology, political science, and education. At present we are offering in our high school three of these courses-VVorld History to sophomores, Ameri- can History to juniors, and Political Science to seniors. The importance of the social subjects is based upon their relationship to the many problems of the present day. The histories trace the development of man- kind throughout the ages, while the political science gives an extensive study of the various governments throughout the world. Special emphasis is placed upon our own national and state governments so as to show their direct relation- ship to each other and to all individuals within their jurisdiction. The instruction in the fields of Social Science is given by Miss Darrough. - me MISS JEANNETTE M. DARROUGPT, Instructor English In our high school four years of English are offered. Three years of Eng- lish work are required, but the fourth is optional. The work is so divided that all courses offer a combination of study in the fields of literature and English grammar. The third year is a study of American literature, while the fourth year gives a more advanced study in the field of English literature. All four years are supplemented by library reading. All of the English classes use the Reader's Digest for the discussion of cur- rent material. The dramatic work, the Scotch News, the high school newspaper, and the Memoriae are important features of the English department. English l and one section of English ll are taught by Mrs. McCool.
