Mr. Edelman helps American history students ]oyce Strickland, Martha Rushing, and Clay Robbins in the selection of a few of the books which they will use in research. SOCIAL STUDIES One unit of American history is required to graduate from Garinger. During the year students study the major events which have helped shape our American society. Emphasis is placed on the colonization of the New World, the American Revolution, the Civil War, Recon- struction, and the two World Wars. Other periods such as the Federalist Era, the Jacksonian Era, the reform move- ments, and the rise of industry and labor are also covered. Students are encouraged to do as much outside reading as possible. Research papers and book reports lead them in that direction. Current events are discussed in class and sometimes arc used as topics for special reports. A clear understanding of American history is essential for good citizenship. Top Row. Mr. Robert O.

During the first two years the student learns the principles of pro- nunciation, and acquires a good foundation in grammar. Third year Spanish emphasizes literature, composition, and conversation. Work in the language laboratory help s the pupil to ac- quire a good pronunciation and to develop fluency in the spoken language. Garinger ' s Latin Department, headed by Miss Cath- erine Clegg, offers four years of Latin. During the first two years students acquire a thorough foundation in grammar. In the third and fourth years strong emphasis is placed upon literature as students be- come familiar with the works of Cicero and Virgil. The more advanced courses also deal with the historical, cultural backgrounds of the language. Students find a knowledge of Latin very helpful in other language courses, since French and Spanish, both Romance languages, are derived chiefly from Latin, and English shows many Latin influences. Is it Cervantes or Castro? It cotdd be either as Spanish students Brenda Whitehill, Brenda Williams, Faye Templeton and Mr. Browning use Garinger ' s new language lab. Dennis Carroll would unlock this Latin III passage if Miss Clegg xvoidd only explain the meaning of et to him.

Extensive outside reading is a requirement. Book reports and term papers help the individual student gain greater insight into the periods of history in which he is most interested. Senior social studies is an elective consisting of two one-semester courses— economics and sociology. The first semester course consists of a survev of the principles and prohlems of economics. Among the topics studied are production, determination of prices, international trade, labor problems, and farm problems. Some time is al- lotted to a survey of other economic systems, such as fascism, socialism, and communism. In sociology, the second-semester course, the pupil studies human nature and the composition of prehistoric and contemporary societies. In the course certain aspects of sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science are combined to give the student a broader and deeper understanding of the society in which he lives. Mike Bolick, Eddie Geissler, and Mrs. Huntley enjoy a geography lesson by using a polar projection map of the world. Sue Rushing and Buddy Frickhoeffer try to keep a straight face as Miss Proctor explains to Jack Miller that in world history Rome is in Italy, not Georgia.
