-lr African Cultures Added to History History, taken only as the study of the dead past, could be quite dull, but taken in its true light, it is as fresh and interesting as to- morrow's newspaper. This year history students have been able to say that they witnessed one of the greatest events in history - man's landing on the moon! This conquest has certainly given a more per- sonal touch to the student's study of history. Even though the pace of history is increasing, it is still necessary to return to the Middle Ages and the American Revolution to see the succession of events which led to the Space Age. In addition to his increased tech- nical knowledge, man must also come to a greater understanding of his fellow man. This understanding is the objective of the latest addi- tion to Garinger's history courses- African Cultures. This course em- phasizes the achievements and contributions of Afro-Americans to our society. The classes benefit from a weekly television program entitled Americans from Africa . Projects stimulate student participation.

Understanding Through Languages Classes conducted in French olten raise questions. ,Q As intercontinental travel be- comes more commonplace, the need for a basic knowledge of for- eign languages becomes greater. Garinger's language department has grown with this importance. There are languages offered to meet every student's interests. Beginning language students may choose to study fundamental courses in French, Spanish, Ger- man, or Latin. lf a more detailed study is desired, French, Spanish, and Latin students may continue by exploring history and literature written in the foreign language. These courses give students a glimpse of the culture and heritage of the countries they study as well as the language of the people. Fourth year French students at- tend the meetings of the Alliance Francaise where they practice conversing with French-speaking people who live in Charlotte, F' Please Mrs. Means,don't make me take it again.
