SOCIAL STUDIES Mr. Davis Webb Mr. Carl Steward History Government Government Problems of Democrary World Geography A year is remembered for its many memorable happenings and we have gained many things this year that will help us to achieve the all-important role of future citi- zens. The major aim of Social Studies courses is the training and developing of intel- ligent, responsible citizens. A world history course furnishes students information on history of world cultures and gives understanding of modern world problems. In American history emphasis is placed on a knowledge of Americanism by teaching how America's democratic ideal of free society has influenced her history at home and abroad. Government stresses the importance of being a participating and well-in- formed citizen. The political system of the United States is studied in detail.

Voice improvement, correct pronun- ciation, debate and oratory, and theater arts are all covered in the courses.
