RUTH E. LINDSAY, M.A. Head HISTORY DEPARTMENT Man,s life is a constant search for identity. History provides a starting point for this search. By evaluating men in other times past, man can see his times more clearly. World history starts all phases of Man's development, social, economic, cultural and intellectual. Civics acts as an introduction to the fundamentals of government and the responsibility of a citizen. Geography gives an idea of the world,s physical structure thus showing its effects on social existence. Afro-Asian history is an academic elective that provides students with the opportunity to research areas of the world which often go unrecognized. U.S. History is offered in two parts during the junior and senior years. It is required by state law in the hope that every student will have a solid background of knowledge about the history of this country. The Advanced Placement History course follows the same principle but it encompasses more rigorous and intensive study. Qualified students are exposed to college teaching technique. If they feel confident in their knowledge at the end of the year, they may take an advanced placement exam. Upon receiving satisfactory achievement on this test, some may receive college credit for this course. Modern Living classes are offered to both male and female students to assist them in understanding the social problems of today and their role in their solutions. 9.9 X ., ROBERT C.
