more thanKEEPI G 0 Students at Harborfields are en- couraged to discover the mysteries of the past with the help of the his- tory department. The quest for truth starts in ninth grade when freshmen attempt to understand the mysteries of Asiatic, Oriental and African eul- tures. Sophomores then delve into the complexities of Europe's vast history. Juniors take an in depth look at America's development. The last year brings us back to European his- tory, for the completion of the aver- age student's voyage in to the past. i 5 , Q ' W v. bu.. , 'i gb at it History is one ofthe most important subjects taught at Harborfields, because a democratic society can not function well if the voters do not have a basic understanding of their past.
