Mr. Anthony Mancuso Department Head George Washington University American History, Humanities In an attempt to balance the creative with the materialistic part of man, and with the knowledge that a study of the heritage of western civilization would contribute to a better understanding of the world today, the social studies department added a new course to its curriculum — humanities. Following the outline provided by a set of films created for this very purpose, Mr. Mancuso divided the year into sections for the study of art, philos- ophy, drama, music, and literature. Individ- ual research resulted in valuable enlightment. As in years past, the curriculum also in- cluded geography, for freshmen, and world history, for sophomores. In order to gain a clearer picture of controversial questions, the juniors in Mr. Mancuso’s American history classes participated in debates. The seniors in Mr. Gwin’s government classes held mock trials. Bills were passed in the model Con- gress set up by Mr. Yost’s classes. Through such courses, the social studies department attempted to make its students good citizens of “tomorrow” through a fuller understand- ing of “yesterday”.
