Latin, our only classical language, is taught by Mrs. Fines and Mrs. Little. First year Latin students mainly concentrate on grammar, but begin Caesar's COMMENTARIES ON THE GALLIC WARS in Latin Il. For the most advanced course, Vergil's AENEID andthe writings of Cicero are alternated annually to provide four years of the language. Much is taught of the culture, religion, and philosophy of the ancients,and aclearer perspective is gained of modern times. Not only is the ancient world explored but also the culture of the world of today: art, books, colleges, travel-these constitute a few of the areas examined in the comprehensive Latin courses offered at T.H.S.

Furnish Guides for the New Frontier All Freshmen are required to take a full year's course in Civics. They are thus introduced at the beginning of their academic life at T.H.S. to the working of the American government ofthe local, state, and national level. Problems ofDemocracy, a course required of all Seniors, expands this foundation, as well as supplying units in family relations, and studying in depth the social make-up of modern America. Economics, Geography, World History, Ala- bama History, and American History are taught. Only American History is required. ln spite of this fact, all of these classes have very large en- rollments. ln all of the Social Studies courses, the past, the physical features of the world, and current events in these fast-moving times are stressed. Because of this, the Social Studies Department is one of our most vital. Periodicals provide analyses ot world situations tor P.O.D. students, who must learn to understand the reasons lor the problems being laced by all nations. MRS. CHARLENE PATRICK World History MRS.
