The first, World History, is designed to acquaint each sophomore with the contributions of dilterent nations to Western civilization and the growth of this civilization and others. The second, United States History, attempts to give each iunior a detailed understanding of the American social, political, economic, and cultural progress since its beginning. Finally, the third, Problems of Democ- racy, endeavors to give each senior a broad com- prehension of his rights and obligations as an American citizen as well as the function of govern- ment in our society. Charles Gates, Ronny Headrick, and Miss Hicks locate various countries in connection with their discussion on democracy throughout the world.

A triumphant young sailor withdraws thoughtfully from his lengthy torture at the hands of the enemy. He directs his thoughts not only toward his blueprints for a new life, but also toward his foster parents, the faculty of Annapolis High. He realizes that the products of their efforts are some of life's most important possessions. During the brave sailor's seemingly hope- less ordeal, his well-trained mind successfully evaded the persuasiveness of his captors. He derived strength from the many inspirational writings which his English teachers had pre- sented, while he held his body together with the physical stamina which was due in part to the efforts of his athletic instructors. He was even helped by the remembrance of the faculty's sense of humor in difficult situations. During his captivity the resourceful individual used effectively the contributions of all his teachers, therefore, he survived. Now the sailor is free again. His ambition in life is to be a teacher of as much value as those who taught his Class of 1960. Possess- ing their characteristic drive, patience, and understanding, doubtlessly he will achieve his goal.

WA. The ability to speak and write good English is the most necessary and most basic of all skills. There is no career or occupation in which the ability to use English well will not be helpful to you, and it is necessary in the study of all other subiects. For these reasons four years of English are required in order to graduate from AHS. English has four basic functions-listening, speak- ing, reading, and writing-which are taught in all AHS English classes. American and English literature is studied by iuniors and seniors to learn of the development of the ideas that have molded our history. Sophomores study the relationships among the peoples of the world in stories about foreign lands. 0' Z'- I Miss Katherine Cox English IV YY if-0 VA? ,. -6- 9 U 5 xv' gif Q, 0, 'P s XVX DESCENDENT' DESQEN DANT DESENDENT VJEBSTER o o l QEJ Miss Elizabeth V.
