Social Studies Link Man’s Past With Present ON CHS ELECTION DAY LINDA SETTLE, a “Johnson girl,” and Christy Mays, a “Goldwater girl,” distribute cam- paign buttons to Donna Brantley, Sandra Arrington, and Jimmy Hawks. “Everyone knows what history is until he begins to think about it.” The idea this sentence brings out challenged the minds of many CHS students. They seized a furthered meaning of the record of man’s past through thought-provoking discussions during and after class, through debates, and through the giving and listening of oral reports. Throughout the year the history teachers endeavored to create an historical consciousness so that students could get a concept of history as not simply events happening in the past. Also, the de partment served as an aid in the development of an understanding of the political, economic, and social world. U.S. History and Government students grasped a deeper understanding of their country’s democratic government, society make-up, and heritage of the past. World Geography students gained a knowledge of the interdependence of nations in respect to dis- tribution of resources, of the intense impact of the industrial and democratic revolutions on all sections of the earth, and of each people’s unique culture. World history, revealed as a dynamic drama in which every man has a role, disclosed man’s successes and failures through the centuries and linked the past, present, and future as being one. The Humanities, with its new teacher, Mr. Bowman, enriched its students by an explanation of man’s quest for “the Good, the True, and the Beautiful.” Mr. Lewis Gwin The Pennsylvania State University, B.S.
