History is Universal As the problems of the world increase daily, so the importance of social studies increases. As teenagers, we recognize the basic need for a deeper and clearer under¬ standing of man ' s past and his progress. United States History tells the story of our nation from the time of its colonization to the issues that face us today. World History involves the study of the earliest beginnings of man to the happenings of the world ' s cul¬ tures in this day and time. Courses are also offered in sociology and economics. These familiarize students with group behavior and help them to link man ' s past with his present and hopefully with his future. American Govern¬ ment imparts information to the student about the func¬ tions of our democracy enabling him to become a better citizen. Mr. Robert J. Troy, who delights in writing and reading, teaches U. S. history, U. S. government, world history, and world geography. FISHING and gardening are hobbies of Mr. Arliss E. Claar, who teaches U.S. history and general math. INVOLVED in a world history debate are Dale Duncan, Steve Kernodle, Sammy Best, Debbie Pender, Beverly Patton, and Lynn Hupman. WORLD and U.S.history and sociology teacher, Mr. Mike Clayton enjoys water skiing. 26
