History is a recording of people’s mistakes and achievements and how these past events have shaped our present world. From that first crude tablet to libraries of microfilmed knowledge, man has set down his errors, accomplishments and goals for future generations. Thus, by studying history, man can apply many lifetimes of experiences to his own situation. Societies of the past are compared to today and ancient governments are paralleled to our own. Much history is learned from studying remains of bygone societies, tools, and furnishings. Thus, students absorb culture through history. They travel through books and maps to distant places, become acquainted with many types of people, learn their customs and philosophies. Mr. Matthews helps Lynn Wells in the Library, a major source of information for history and govern- ment students. Through government and economic classes, students learn of their own country. For knowledge of this country's ideals is necessary if they are to defend it. Future politicians weigh pros and cons of government policies and current topics, preparing for a new generation of government. Thus, through studies of their own and other philosophies, students acquire high ideals, learn from other’s experiences to set their own goals high, and become well-informed citizens, the foundation of democracy. Jane Reavis, outstanding Social Science student, pours over volume of American history. 14 American History students show varied degrees of interest in class discussion.

One of the world's most exciting businesses is the field of journalism. Journalists have the thrill of being insiders. They are often where things happen. They know who makes things happen and to whom they happen. There is the thrill of meeting deadlines. Excitement grows to great tension every time the news or publication goes to press. Typewriters and cameras click, editors write copy and news, page layout takes place, pic- tures are cropped, some are full-bled. Journal- ism jargon becomes familiar. Sometimes feuds form Sharon Strahan, Editor-in-Chief 1963 Bulldog. David Norris, photographer, snaps Mike Lary, staff member. among staff members as tension mounts near the final hour. Journalism opens a world of adventure; it en- forces the art of commu- nication; and it often pro- duces mental and physical fatigue which can be re- freshed only by a job well done. Jane Reavis, outstanding Journalism student, gets many ideas from Reader's Guide.
