History classes
study the past
to learn about
present, future
Like weather forecasters who study
past weather conditions to more
accurately predict what can be expected,
historians carefully study the past to keep
the present in perspective and perhaps
anticipate the future.
Through American history and World
history, students are made aware of the
past governments-their successes and
mistakes-and the story behind the
development of our country.
However, all of social studies is not
history. Although American history is a
requirement, as is
CIVICS,
a course dealing
with the rights and duties of citizens, and
American Free Enterprise, which teaches
seniors about today's government and
economic status, elective courses
complete the balance of the social studies
curriculum.
Psycology, sociology and world history
attracted students interested in studying
themselves, their backgrounds, their place
in society and differenct cultures of the
world.
Mrs. Helen Newsom emphasizes an idea in American Free
Enterprise, a required course for seniors. LEFT: Psychology, offered
for one-half credit, is taught five times each day by Mr. Truett
Thorn.
New to the faculty this year, Mr. Buddy Reed responds to a student
question diKing geog-aphy.
