.... All students are acquainted with the History Department as all have taken some phase of this subject. Under the capable guidance of eleven teachers, students explore the mysteries of past governments, their internal workings and their external activities, and learn of the development of the world from the age of the caveman to the modern age of cement and steel. In studying the political and economic trials and errors of the past, a student is better fitted to solve correctly the problems of present and future life. The History Department is headed by T. E. O'Connor and includes H. H. Fitch, Glen Seymour, Mary E. McKee, Alice Miles, Carl Mapes, Lutie Cheatham, Myrtle Sell, Creighton E. Hays, Jessie Weaver, and Evangeline Burns. Non' I.
