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.

At Southington High School the future secretary gains the basic skills and necessary background to enter the business world. Courses in shorthand introduce her to a fascinating new language of signs and symbols to simplify the taking of dictation, while bookkeeping trains her to keep complex financial records. She learns to skillfully operate ofiice machines such as electric type- writers, calculators and duplicating machines, while she learns the importance of a background in Economics. She puts all this knowledge together in her Oflice Practice class where actual working conditions are simulated. Room 110 is truly a Business World on the student level. Faculty requests, Emblem production, and the general bustle of students working to meet deadlines, form some of the main points of activity. At least one third of the class of 1964 is enrolled in at least one business subject. Since 1959, the Department Staff has increased from two to six teachers. More and more recognition is being given to the Business Depart- ment as it increases in importance to all SHS students. f filer f , f . f ff' Tw, 4 f,ff,f,,,, Yi? 31 ff' if 5.
