The science of living together and working out together the problems of government, of supplying one another's needs and of developing a strong na- tion from closely-knit family groups forms the basic study materials of the courses taught in the social studies group. This trend towards producing social- minded citizens is reflected in the new name for the first-year course, Citizen- ship Education. Later courses in this group emphasize historical knowledges. perhaps in order that we may learn from the mistakes of the past what to avoid or to assert in the present and the future. In any case, whether they are learn- ing of the prudent patriots who framed Sister Agnes Catherine and students of American History, Joan Pereira, Joan Cariola.

Once they have helped us to find the things we want, our knowledge of metaphors, similes, sentence structure, makes the meanings clearer.

Taught only to Seniors, it provides an opportunity to aquire at least a begin- ning of the skills that make for happy and profitable family living. It has been a new thing for students to have a row of hemstitching or a motif in crocheting for homework, or to be required to make a batch of Christmas cookies or cream puffs at home in order to gain credit on their report cards. Yet reports from other members of the family show that these beginnings have contributed to the fine art of getting along together. In Family Living Class, Seniors Margaret Ritz, Joyce Lappetito, Sharon Schoener, and Marilyn Judson learn to sew a fine seam. 21
