HISTORY LEE 5. PATTISON History A. B. Amherst NL A. Harvard To develop the ability to think critically about any given set of facts or opinions is the princi- pal aim of the History program at Countrv Day. In some quarters there seems to be a clash of opinion as to how much emphasis to lay on the collection of factual material and how much on learning maior concepts, The fact is that both are of equal importance. There is little point collecting a mass of facts unless one learns to think about what they add up to, and there is equally little point in learning a few large genu eralizations without first being properiy equip- ped with the tactst It is a further aim to have our student's see a variety of opposing points of view on many historical i55ues. There are perhaps two hoped- for results of this process First, we attempt to force students to come to some personal deci- sions as to what is right and what is wrong as far as they are concerned. It is desired that this will help the student become a decision-making individual in our society. A second hoped-for result is to indicate that honest, responsibie, sincere individuals may have differing points of view on issues and that it is not necessary to ascribe ail evii to someone who has a differing point of view than ourst We study United States History in particular to develop a sense of our traditions as guide lines for future actiont His- tory and culture of the rest of the world is studied so that we may understand that other peoples have different traditions and cultures than we do and to realize this when considering our international relations.

DOUGLAS JAY BRADFORD IIDOUGII Hunched behind the wheel of his '64 Ply- mouth as he rumbles into the School parking iot, Doug Bradford seems no different than any of his friends. But his quality of leadership and ability to make and keep friends has distinguish ed him from the group. Delta Beta Fraternity actives realized his worth when they elected him to the hallowed position of president. He has been a bond of social understanding between Country Day and Mariemont since then. Such a personality should enable Doug to continue to do what he has always been doing - going places, fast! Although his fraternity and sleek car are his two maior interests, when off the roads, Doug is an avid basketball and basebali playert Having played school sports since he was a freshman, he has earned three varsity letters in both basketball and basebali. When in school, Doug has somehow managed to divide his extra time between the demanding activities of the stage crew, service club and the SCROLL. 24 JOHN HAYES ARMSTRONG IIJOHNII John Armstrong is Country Dayts record-set- ting senior.

He was one of the three juniors elected to the Cum Laude Society, a feat of which he is iustly proud. Because he has devoted so much time to his studies, Steve has been able to participate only mildly in extra-curricular activities. Among those that he has been a part of are soccer, for which he played a dangerous wing,- XeSquad, for which he played a persistent line position. Out- side of school, Steve, an amateur electrician, has built his own twoeway ham radio set. Steve's diligent, friendly manner has created the res- pect of both the students and the faculty at Country Day.
