The little theater brings back memories of team English, but also to many of us memories of team History for sophomores. In that year we learned about European or contemporary world history which was followed up in our junior year with American nistory and in our senior year with a semester of government and economics, sociology, or family liv- ng. For those who were qualified, the history depart- ment offered an accelerated history course series, 'be program consisted of a complete survey of gov- ernmental procedures and history. This year many of us took advantage of the Far East history course offered at Paly under the able direction of Florence Turner. This course was a study of China, its history and culture, Japan, and Southeast Asia. From a close and comprehensive study of their culture and problems, the student is better equipped to understand the problems of these areas today. The required government course gave us better insight into the operation of the federal, state and local government functions. In addition to this se- mester of government, we took a semester of either sociology or economics.
