Warren Historians Seek a Knowledge of Future Pam Bennett and John Lockwood learn the customs and poHcies of many foreign countries in International Re- lations. This area of the humanities, social studies, is broadly studied at Warren. The extensive hst of classes offered are world geography, eco- nomics, U.S. history, American govern- ment, sociology, family living, psychology, in- ternational relations, and cadet teaching. Each of these courses are entrenched in the study of people, their actions and reactions. Specifically, those classes dealing with politi- cal and historical conditions are world history, U.S. history, American government, and in- ternational relations. The courses U.S. history and American government are requirements at Warren to guarantee that each student has a basic knowledge in social studies. Primarily, U.S. history establishes the founding of our democratic form of government and capitalistic economy. The second requirement, American government, then goes on to elaborate on the workings of this governmental system and how the public participates. World history and world government are broad areas of study which extend to students the scope of peoples, histories, and cultures. Another course of elab- oration, international relations, involves an ex- tensive study and analyzation of current affairs throughout the world.

By Studying Past The remaining courses of study deal with people and their relationships with each other. Sociology centers on the relationships of men, while family living more specifically deals with man ' s role in family Hfe. The general psy- chology course is usually taken for either a basic knowledge of psychological man or for preparation of the college course. The last area is that of cadet teaching. It is, as the name im- plies, the study of the art of teaching. This course is programed to classroom study and teaching in an actual classroom situation. There is a great and growing need for study and understanding which is being met by accel- erated programs in this field of the humanities. The proper locations of cities and waterways are im- portant to Jim Brown as he completes a geography as- signment for Mr. Lurtey. Sandra Garrison studies a chapter of American Heritage, a vital part of United States history.
