Social science is worth while because these subjects are closely connected with our lives to- day. In the history courses the students are given an insight into the historical development of our Nation and the nations of Europe. Soci- ology gives the historical, psychological, physical, and cultural factors of social life. Economics shows the economic conditions of our country. Civics gives the development of the political life and points the way to better citizenship. The social studies group rests in the capable hands of six teachers.. Miss Mary Lucas, Mrs. I M l R- IOSEPI , 1 BITER, Sona! Sczlfn Mus. ASENATH Sci-mosmzn Social Srience CC' Asenath Schroeder, Mr. John Blackmore, and Miss Louise McDonald make the study of history very worth while. Sociology and economics are presented in an interesting fashion by Miss Anna Stewart and Mr. Joseph Biter. One of the first and one of the outstanding teachers of this department was Miss Margaret Phelps. She did much to advance the department to what it is today, one of the finest departments of the school system. She organized the George S. Bryant Debating Society. From that beginning interest in debate has grown until William Chris- man is known for its capable debate teams. MISS Lo 1 U PSSA STEWQF Er1g!ZM,Y-is?
