SOCIAL SCIENCE Every student at S. H. S. is required to take one year of World History and one year of American history to graduate. World History starts with the cave-man and re- veals the story of the human race's struggle against tyranny, including the study of such interesting peoples as the Egyptians, the Romans, and people of the Middle Ages. American history is interesting, of course, for it is about our own country-develop- ment of the thirteen colonies, Revolution- ary War, Civil War,-and leads up to the present wars of society in which America has been engaged. It is no wonder that these courses are required for students to graduate. Many become so interested in this field that additional subjects, such as World Problems, economics, civics, and geography are offered. Our history department, under the direc- tion of Miss Louise Welch,,places value on facts and dates only when they give stu- dents a clearer insight into the growth of civilization. By reasoning things from ex- amples of the past, we can understand much about the present and the future. ln nearly all S. H. S. history classes, one day is spent each week on Current Events to keep posted on happenings all over the world, and to increase the understanding so badly needed by all nations. Emphasis on this world knowledge is needed in all high schools, and S. H. S. is made a more up-to- date school because of this training. Stu- dents who have derived information from these courses go into the world as well- informed citizens, ready to take an intelli- gent part in the government of the United States and the reconstruction of other coun- tries. Our capable history department is to be commended for its work. Students make good use of visual aids in Geography Class Twenty-th ree
