Since Sputnik and the rapid chain of events which swept us into the space age, science has expanded its foothold in secondary school education. From a position of relative unimportance and neglect to a position of priorityg that's the story of science - at Southington and throughout the nation. Science is a four year program at Southington High. Freshmen are offered introductory courses in Earth Science and General Science. As sophomores they study the structure, reproduction, growth, and classification of plants and animals along with their evolutionary signi- ficance-biology. The Junior and Senior years are devoted to the lab sciences, Chemistry, advanced biology, and phy- sics. The atomic theory, ionization, electricity, light, radio- activity, along with basic mechanics are taught in an in- creasingly complex display of scientific method and prin- ciple. Science at Southington is expanding, broadening and overflowing with students of promise and ability. In the past few years the prominence of some noteworthy members has gained our school state and national recognition. We have had two National Science Fair winners and we carry away high honors at the State Fair every year. Science at Southington is moving forward and there are no signs of it slowing down. f x E ,yff,,f f-w j. if' 4 1'f...--J .4 ,,-Q f-Q ,, L 1 ' ...WV ,V , 55 ..,.,, W ..,, ,, , 1, -ao 1 -f' VY-i f - 1, f 6'The development of science and of creative activities requires an inward freedom. 54, V I I 1 wzfvrxmmizwmw-Mona, Miss Nellie Shepard

The Social Studies department includes eight courses. Freshmen may take Civics, a study of the community and Citizenship, or Ancient History. The latter helps students to get a better understanding of ancient and medieval times in preparation for Modern History. Students who study Economic Geography, a sophomore course, learn about the land and people of the earth. World History, another sophomore course, gives students a better understanding of other races and nations as well as their views and actions. The third tenth year course is Modern History. Students in this course study the major political and economical developments of the past four hundred years. All students must take U. S. History in their Junior year. This course is designed to give the student an under- standing and appreciation of the American way of life. The two fourth year courses are Problems of American Democracy and Sociology. These courses instill a respect and appreciation for our way of life and make the student aware of existing social problems. Sociology is a new course this year and is much like the introduc- tory course offered in college. arf if-J gf.-.Q-, ,V f 'sixxqkqiffl . 1 l Wea ff J n Q3 , , , mix vt. ,rdf D 1, J L f , 1Q', f' I f.
