Typical of the material concerning foreign cultures covered by the Social Studies Department this year was the full period discussion of oriental magic, hypnotism and voodoo charms which a Sociology class engaged in. Lively discussions on fascinating subjects such as these proved to be great student drawing-cards. ' The course offerings of the Social Studies Depart- ment covered a diversified range of subjects. Often using college level textbooks, Pan-American, Far Eastern, World, and United States History classes delved into the historical development of present day countries in order to understand contemporary problems. Sociology classes investigated topics such as norms and religion to learn more about human behaviorg economics classes studied division of la- bor and the Federal Reserve System to discover the reasoning behind our own free economy system. .Q-,,, Economic Geography classes studied the different economic systems that have been instituted all over Us. history instructor Mr. Walsh, Nancy pace, am ,Judy the World Stark discuss a controversy concerning FDR's solutions for ' the depression.
