The social science deparTmenT This year ollfered ourses in world hisTory, modern European hisTory. niTed STaTes hisTory, civics and economics. All These rses are designed To prepare The sTudenT Tor ciTizenf p in The TuTure. The TaculTy OT This deparTmenT, ed by Mr. Kahn, believes ThaT The social sciences noT primarily concerned wiTh The pasT and ThaT should provide The background Tor an under- oT presenT problems. ThereTore, currenT and class discussions on governmenT were given P . unusual aTTenTion. ln connecTion wiTh This program, sTudenTs were encouraged To enTer essay and oraTorical conTesTs, sponsored by such paTrioTic organizaTions as The American Legion and The D. A. R. The conTribuTions made To democracy by Americans oT Today and in The pasT were especially emphasized and Trips were Taken To The seaTs oT local governmenT and places OT his- Torical inTeresT. Thus, hisTory became more Than dull reciral oT TacTs To Sullivan sTudenTs. dence THE HOPE OF THE FUTURE ln These modern Times Science has become increasingly imporTanT To socieTy. AT Sullivan There is visible prooT oT This Trend. The en- rollmenTs in The Science DeparTmenT have been sTeadily increasing each year. Every sTudenT musT Take a year oT general science, buT The oTher courses are elecTive, so The increase in enrollmenT can be aTTribuTed only To greaTer inTeresT among The sTudenTs. WhaT could be a beTTer TribuTe To The TaculTy? The Teachers OT The Science DeparTrnenT, headed by Mrs. FinTY geld, work independenTly because of The di- versiTy oT The subiecTs covered, buT They all sTrive To inTeresT The sTudenT in The imporTanT conTribuTions scienTisTs are making Toward im- proving our daily lives.
