Today’s news ... tomorrow's history. Progress, of a different sort, is cer- tainly obtained with a careful study of history. Suddenly ancient history becomes alive when a mid-Eastern crisis de- velops—civics takes on a deeper mean- ing as the filibuster debates make the headlines—English history continues on with Elizabeth I1 and Macmillan— and Alaska brings the 49 states and U.S. history right up to the moment. Guiding us in the formation of our opinions and conclusions to be reached from the study of history are Capt. Ralph, Major Davis, Capt. Saunders, Lt. Andrews and Col. Carruthers. “EARLIER TIMES” . . . Hurst finds that Major Davis makes the new an- cient history textbook have more meaning. Zahara and Field are ob- viously enjoying the class. BUT WHERE’S LEBANON? . . . The crisis last summer and the subsequent appearance of a cadet from Beirut activated Pintado, Rosenberg, Beller, Bowman and Roelle to action in Lt. Andrews’ class of ancient history. Lt. Andrews traces the beginning of the near-war scare with the background of Nasser in Egypt. NO REBEL YELL HERE .. . Capt. Ralph delights in having ‘“Yank‘’ Coulon explain the victories of the South, in the Civil War. Byrd, a true Southerner, looks on in obvious amusement.
