Produce Better Americans A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT needs in¬ formed citizens. Doris Myers, Jim Brown, and Phil McBride study how our government is operated. History is the narration of facts and events of the past. It is a survey of man ' s life, as revealed by documents and archeological relics. History is divided into two groups, World history taught by Mr. Haggard and studied by sophomores, and Ameri¬ can history taught by Mr. Haggard and Mr. Sprunger, studied by juniors. One day a week the history classes have a newspaper which they study for that day, namely The American Ob¬ server. This weekly paper has news and issues with pros and cons on world affairs. Government and sociology, the administration of public affairs which is an established state of legal authority, is taught by Mr. Shoup and studied by the seniors. AMERICAN HISTORY is the topic of Karen Cauble, Max Moser, Kenny Reed and Gyneth Schnepp. 13
