Social Studies Acquaint Individual For Competent And Intelligent Living i The story of man on earth includes his efforts to adapt himself to climate, topography, resources; and his struggle toward a clearer spiritual understanding, a higher culture, and a more democratic way of life. The social classes of our school tell this story and foster the habit of critical thinking by our students. By studying citizenship, world history, world geography, American history, and American problems, boys and girls are furnished a technique which they can use in the solving of their problems at home, at school, and elsewhere. They are also provided with a vocabulary and an understanding so that as they move to wider circles and distant horizons they may be successful and happy. Mr. Laird instructs the sophomores in world history.

In our complex traffic society, people must be taught safe habits and practices. Through the drivers training program, students learn self-discipline, self-guidance, and self-protection. They develop social-consciousness and concern for the rights and safety of others. Commercial ( lasses Learn Business Procedures Four courses—bookkeeping, shorthand, typing, and office practicc--are included in the commercial program at S.H.S. The program prepares pupils to enter and succeed in a business occupation as a beginner who expects to follow a business career; it assists pupils in acquiring certain business knowledges and skills for personal use; and it prepares those who desire to continue study beyond the secondary level. Bookkeeping students tussle with adjusting entries.
