Mr. LeRoy Barron Mr. William Farmer Mr. Flemming Madsen Past Holds Key Mr. James Brennan Mr. Angelo Castelluci The knowledge of the past holds the key that may well open many doors in the future. In understanding man,s struggle towards today, students can better understand why the present is the way it is and how they may better the future. Working with students, relating the past to them, comparing and analyz- ing the present and preparing them for what looms in the future is all part of the curriculum our History Department endorses. There is a four-year course of study in which all students are involved. World Geography introduces freshmen to the geo- physical and economic structure of the world while as Sopho- mores they are enlightened about the ancient cultures, in world history. Juniors are instructed in the history of the United States. To end their four years of study, Seniors receive two semester courses, Civics coupled with American Problems which will prepare them for civic responsibility and social adjustment. Mr. Jerry Moore
