Bringing into focus the co ntributions of past civilizations mingled with those of modern times, the History Department headed by Mrs. Sutton created stimulating atmosphere for those who have historical minds. On class discussions in sociology of social problems stemming from marriage, drugs and alcoholism were conducted and sometimes referred by Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Hemphill. Even though term papers and book reports lie dormant in the back of each student’s mind as he entered the world of economics and sociology, every benefit derived from these courses continues with us as we face the haunting world of tomorrow. 2

DHS and the French Department gained a new teacher, Mr. McGimsey, a 1970 graduate of the University of North Carolina brought with him an excitingly different year, one packed with ventures into France of long ago. The story of a struggle through a French novel, daily mental battles with grammar, and an arm full of albums containing many popular American songs sung in French. Viewing of the play Tartuffe by Moliere gave students a taste of French satire. The play was in English, and had a Southern setting. Also adding to the enrichment of French students was the annual Christmas caroling. Everybody loves a party. French students are no exception to this rule. Trips to the Burke County Fair and the Village Inn allowed the students to really get to know their new teacher.
