History is a very important subject to every student. At Central the teachers inform their pupils of history in the past as well as in the pre- sent. The students also receive a broad knowledge of the customs, habits, and beliefs of people in foreign lands. They learn about geography and locations of countries with the aid of maps, globes, and charts. Current events are discussed very frequently in each classroom. Ancient, medieval, and modern history make up the three-year course which is studied. World problems are discussed and each student is encouraged to think clearly for himself. Also taught in the courses is the kind of government we in America have as well as those of other countries. Every boy and girl should be very interested in his or her history class, for history is being made everyday. A knowledge of 'world affairs is a necessity to the person who wishes to be well informed today. Miss Helen O'Brien, the director of Central's history department, fully realizes this and is work- ingto include in our history courses more domestic and foreign current events, and also a complete understanding of world backgrounds and foreign policy. This accounts for the increased interest and activity of Centra1's students in their history classes. Page Twelve
