Around the world history classes delve into the past. Cathedral Prep brings a new perspective to the classroom with current events, an integral part of the classroom. The saying, history repeats itself, comes alive everytime the teach- ers focus on contemporary world prob- lems. This aspect of the subject centers on teacher - student discussion, a vital part of the maturing process. Rev. Thaddeus Kondzielski and other freshman World History teachers sched- ule specific days to debate topics of do- mestic and international concern such as the Iranian Hostage Crisis, the unrest in Poland, and how the United States and other European allies react against ag- Todays Events Are gression. The World Culture's teachers continue with current events in addition to the required core subject. American His- tory, in the junior year, directs students toward studying the development of the political and domestic scene. The first three years give a general background in American and World Histo- ry, these courses also explore the cul- tures of nations. ln the senior year, cur- riculum also includes a survey of contem- porary history. Economics, Modern American History, and Sociology all deal with current events on a day to day basis. This innovative program prepares Prep students for tomorrow. ,ASQ Mr. Kevin R. DeMarco, B.S.
