T. J. HUFFMAN PRESTON BARBER AB—Marshall BS—U. of Ga. MA—Ohio State AARON LIVELY BA—Mercer History, Psychology, And Government Courses Offer ARC Students An Interesting And Important Social Studies Curriculum A wide variety of Social Studies are offered at the Academy. The range of courses includes psychology, economic geography and the usual history and government studies. Of course, a knowledge of the history and geography of our world, country, and state is one of the foundations upon which a good education is built. At Richmond a student receives more than a good study of the social sciences. He receives an excellent background in this area which will stand him in excellent stead for his future education and give him an awareness of happenings in the world around him. ARC’s teachers are highly regarded by others of the same profession and are respected by the various historical and political societies in our immediate community. The general consensus of opinion is that a graduate of Richmond who has had the full complement of the social studies is well prepared to exercise his rights and privileges as a citizen and to cope with the problems confront- ing him in the w'orld.

MA—Emory Foreign Language Studies Enable Communication with The World I he world gets smaller every day because of improved communica- tion and transportation systems. To keep pace with this fast-moving trend, we must be able to communicate with our neighbors throughout the world. This is one of the purposes of the Modern Foreign Language department. In addition to teaching the fundamentals of the language itself, the instructors of French and Spanish, up to now the only two subjects offered in this field, strive to teach their students to appreciate the homeland and to understand the people of the countries where these languages are spoken. French students A1 Dasher, Sherry Mays, and Wanda Lee Lucas compare American and French magazines. Frances Wren and Ben Kay admire souvenirs from France. Miss Overstreet exhibits mementos of her trip to France to her sixth period class.
