ELAINE Gll.PlN Introduction to Social Studies SOCIAL STUDIE Now that newspaper headlines scream about the de-- plorable events of the world, the citizen needs to know the principles behind the diplomacy of a particular area and its past history. Social studies is an important part of any school curriculum. lt is necessary that students gain a knowledge of good government, learn of the importance of political diplomacy, and have a conscientious aware- ness of the past and present. Students do not learn only through textbooks, but also through first hand experiences. In November mock elec- tions were held by many social studies classes and the results were compared to the actual returns. Classroom discussions frequently concern newsworthy events so that a student can learn to be more objective about the world situation. The workings of government are on important part of the curriculum. The three branches of government are viewed with a critical eye both on the national and local levels. Seniors this year had an opportunity to come to conclusions about social and governmental problems through a Problems in Democracy course. Freshmen were introduced to social studies in a civics course appropriate- ly called Introduction to Social Studies . The expansion and improvement of the social studies department has afforded students the opportunity to be- come well-informed citizens and leaders of tomorrow. MR. WAYNE HARSH MR. CLARE HOLLEY MR.
