Students Study Events of Yesterday MR RICHARD CECIL, JR. History, Elon College B.A. MRS. ANNIE CIFELLI History, Richmond Professional Institute B.S. MRS. ANNE CLAYTON — Ff Geography, Madison College — . B.Si “All J know is that it’s a little pink country shaped like a peanut.” Who’s that? Is it Patrick Henry engaged in a fierce debate? Is it Thomas Paine loudly proclaiming the cause of American independence? No, it’s just a Huguenot student defending his favorite political candidate against the “sticks and stones” of the opposition: Yet, enly by realizing the value of our form of government could he be qualified to defend it. The Social Studies Department plays a vital role in pre- paring its students to accept their civic responsibilities and in giving them a better understanding of the world. By analyzing the problems of yesterday in the hope of solving those of to- morrow, this department meets the challenge of the future. MRS. MABEL COSBY History, Westhampton College B.A. MRS.

Books to the right of us, books to the left of us. Knowl- edge seems to leap forward from the shelves of the library. Students busy on term papers empty the reference shelves, while nearby the magazines and newspaper racks lie waiting for use by those with less burdensoine assign- ments. A never-ending stream of readers may be seen making its way towards the general reading selections, both for pleasure and class reports. But all who frequent this department come away with knowledge which helps them to more fully develop their minds and personalities.
