Social Studies Department Encourages Mr. Z lectures to his students, Here, we have one of our first World War I heroes! Senator Anderson rises to a point of order during a session of Congress. If our democratic and republican form of government is to continue to be strong in the years ahead, those who are growing up into responsible adulthood must under- stand, appreciate, and feel the need to take a part in it. They must be familiar with this great nation ' s heritage, (Virginia and U.S. History, Eighth Grade History); they must realize our relationship with other na- tions of the world, (World History, Geog- raphy): and they must take the first steps toward active participation in political life, (Virginia and U.S. Government.) This is the job of the Social Studies Department in the American high school in 1967, and also what we have tried to achieve at York this year. 22
