Mr. Charles Wood, head of the history department, leads discussions concerning mar- riage problems, religious sects, and various aspects of crime and culture. In their senior year, students may elect Problems of Democ- racy, a course in which world problems and economics are discussed. The Social Studies Department stresses the problems of living effi- ciently and of understanding the America of today. Its program is designed to give a knowl- edge of the background of the American and European history. MR.

HOME ECONOMICS AND INDUSTRIAL ARTS Home Economics offers a variety of subjects: clothing, food, costume designing, family rela- tionships, home nursing, and interior decoration. Modern Living classes, which are open to senior girls, include units in personal and social relationships, child care and develop- ment, family management, and household mechanics. Modern Living and Foods II are offered to boys. The new industrial arts buildings include four shops and one mechanical drawing room. A unique feature is the inclusion of home mechanics activity conducted in the shop ap- propriate for that course. The total experiences provide youth with a background as a basis for developing further avocational interests or as a foundation for choosing a vocation. IN A boys' cooking class, Fred Corletto and Dick Gortian learn the art of boiling water.

of Culture MUSIC, ART, GYM Pulse the beat, is a phrase that chorus students will never forget. The Upper Darby High Chorus, including A Capella A and B choirs, under the direction of Dr. Clyde Dengler, is noted for its ability to sing difficult pieces in perfect unity. Since Seeing is believing, Upper Darby pupils have come to believe that the art course is a creative study as they see examples of posters and murals painted by art students under the guidance of Miss Elizabeth Kings- ley. Because modern educators consider bodily development an essential part of education, UD's gymnasium is equipped with modern apparatus used by every Upper Darby student. Boys and girls not only have gym classes but they also take part in intramural and interscholastic sports. MONKEY HANG on parallel ban is demonstrated by Carol Umsfead as Judy Motes spots. DEMONSTRATIONS IN proper singing are given to Marie light, Lorretta Montgomery, and Karen Wiley by Dr. Dengler. 23
