Ulrue is it that me babe seen hettzr bays Mr. A. Miller points to some of the trouble spots in Africa as he explains a world problem to his 11-C-S section. Taking time out from their civics class to laugh if a joke are Mr. Wise and the 9-C-V section. The Social Studies Department endeavors to give the student a background in previous his- tory which can be applied to current happenings. It is felt that by thoroughly understanding the underlying causes of past history, one can better analyze and appreciate the problems of today. In ninth and twelfth grades the student has civics and PAD to help him become well ac- quainted with his own governments, their digi- culties and advantages. In tenth and eleventh grades American and world history are studied. To make students conscious of the state of the world, current affairs are discussed and analyzed. Mr. L. Miller, Social Studies Department head, presides over a department meeting. Seated are Mr. Huffert, Mr. Mahon, Mrs. Lambert, Mr. Criesemer, Mr. Kouvaris, Mr. Orlando, Mr. Moyer, Miss Spencer, Mrs. Herb and Mr. Wise.
