Mr. Crowell and Mr. Lewis F. Powell present lectures on Communism to senior classes. Students, Teachers — Democracy Student participation, civic leaders’ contributions, and teacher direction exemplify the democratic way of life in the social sciences. This department has a well balanced program emphasizing the old and the new. Knowledge of the development of the American Heritage and the history of the Old World builds an understanding of peoples and problems in the modern world. An appreciation of what has been, an aware- ness of what is, a dedication to the concept that a knowledge of the truth is essential to freedom ex- presses the objective and the method of the social sciences.

Language Study Practical and Cultural The Foreign Language Department of George Wythe High School believes that the study of at least one of the languages offered in its curriculum, namely Latin, French, Spanish, German, and Russian, is high- ly desirable. Practical and beneficial advantages may be gained by a working knowledge of a foreign language, and the general cultural benefits to be derived are re- warding. The building of language power results in the fullest enjoyment of life. Mrs. Thelma B. Hutton, head of language department, helps Jean Gandy put finishing touches on showcase.
