History Comes Alive Will you marry me? Give me liberty or give me death! Sometimes we confused Socio¬ logy and American History. But learning quo¬ tations isn ' t the only thing we did in Social Studies. We learned about the climate in geography while in humanities, we learned about the culture of man.

Miss Crenshaw takes time to help Kenneth Hoffman understand the principles on which our government is based. 16
