S MP.. ALAN TUBE h Social Studies and Geograp Y I-HQIOEY History, a vital phase of our curriculum, is com- prised of many different courses. History gives each of us a knowledge of our countryis heritage and an awareness of the various functions of the government. ln the seventh grade, the foundation for under- standing our history is begun by studying Ancient History. ln eighth grade, the students study Ameri- can History. Pennsylvania History, taught in the freshman year, gives continuity to American His- tory While enlarging our scope by moving to the local level. Sophomores concentrate on Wo'rld His- tory, which is important in developing an insight to World problems. American History is again studied in the junior year, this time from a more adult point of view aimed at the background and development of democracy. Problems of Democ- racy, Economics, and Sociology are studied by seniors. These courses are planned around direct application of ourselves to contemporary problems. - --4' ' 3 i t t KNAPP MR G ' - REID S ' . PIERC . MUNA h oc1al Studles E A Ygliial Studies and Frenc

MR. JERRY WESTOVER Mathematics Even if you can't solve algebra problems you can have fun drawing, as these juniors illustrate. MR. ROBERT WAGN ER 60 Mathematics Have you ever wondered what two and two are? Students who have gone through the Y.H.S. math department usually know this simple fact. Their high school math training begins with a gen- eral math course in the seventh grade. The majority of the eighth graders take general math, while a few take Algebra I as the ninth graders do. For those students who strive to increase their knowledge of this exact science, the more ad vanced courses of Plane Geometry Algebra II, and Trigonometry may be taken. General courses such as Business Math and Senior Math are also offered.
