History Is a Blueprint for the Future. Famous first question: “Where did we leave off in our last class?’’ Not knowing who will have to answer, Mr. Frederic Bartek’s Problems in American Democracy class snaps to attention. Pictured are Pat Cloutier, Ruth Driscoll, Paul Leddy, Diane Deblois, Sharon Pistolese, and Nancy Theriault. Every day is history. Everything that happens, whether in science, art, politics, or any of the thou- sand and one other elements that make up the sto- ry of man, is history. But simply to narrate the sto- ry of man is not enough. History is more than a mere collection of dates and facts. It is a teacher itself—a blueprint we can follow in solving present . day problems in terms of man’s past experiences. The aim of Feehan’s history department, headed by Mr. Frederic Bartek, assisted by Mr. Paul O’Boy and Mr. Roger Thibault, therefore, is to make us effective citizens of the U.S. and intelligent citizens of the world. Inspecting Consumer Economics papers is Mr. Paul O’Boy while seniors, Kenny Duquette, George La- marre, Osvaldo Roig, and Donald St. Laurent take a daily quiz.
