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.
