The History Department, headed by Mr. Stephens, provides two courses in the curriculum that are required of all graduating Seniors, American History and European History. In addition, such electives as Sociology, Latin American History, and Civics are offered to acquaint students with the broad field of social studies. The History Department has set up these courses to give the back¬ ground necessary to prepare students for college history and sociology majors. The History Department, as a whole, is designed to give students the understanding of past history that is necessary for understanding mod¬ ern history and current events. The knowledge of a nation ' s past position in the world may help to explain its position today. For this purpose, and also to teach students to participate freely in panel and round table dis¬ cussions, Current Events are an important part of class work. [19]
