Social Scientists Mr. Roy Baldwin, Mr. Roy Croswell, Mr. William Tyler, Department Head Mr. Malcolm Stewart, Miss Helen Finley, and Mr. Owen Reynolds appear optimistic about fate of the world. TUB WORLD, rrc PBOPLB AND 7UEJR, ROArTONSWrPO TO ONB ANOTHER Every year of high school has given Goshen students a broader understanding of the past, present, and future of our world through the various courses of social studies each student must take. As a freshman, the globe is thoroughly studied. There are maps and facts galore to memorize, so that we might know the exact location of Irkutsk, Vladivostok, and Reyjavik; about sheep raising in Australia; and fishing around Iceland. Then, with a basic background in the role of geography in man's history, we begin a study of that history. In our sophomore year we sat stupified as we heard strange tales of Hannibal's crossing the Alps and Bismark's blood and iron” tactics in Europe. American history filled our minds as juniors and seniors. As juniors, we attended Boston’s Tea Party and Philadelphia's Constitutional Convention, traveled west with Lewis and Clark, shed blood at Vicksburg, and, as should all good Americans, became thoroughly familiar with the Constitution of the United States. As seniors we continued our survey of American history from 1900 to the present, a most challenging project as we study our rapidly changing, complex government and way of life. Senior history, too, forced us to react to various issues on the contemporary scene - not an easy thinking-type assignment. And then we were ready to leave GCS to become active American citizens. Let us meet some of the people responsible for our preparation for this role. Mr. H. Malcolm Stewart received his BA and MA from Boston University. He is Goshen's American History II teacher, and the head of the social studies department. We will always remember his performance of Hari-Kari. It was fabulous! Did you read in yesterday's paper . . .? Oh, that's right; you just carry the TIMES. We still love you, Mr. Stewart! 10

Miss Helen Finley we will always remember in many ways. The tenth graders for many years to come will recall all the ditto sheets they collected in World History. Among them, of course, are those relating to the unification of Germany and the Middle Ages. Those in Youth-in-Government will remember her ceaseless effort to advise us in politics. She is also the chairman of the faculty's Honor Society committee and is the advisor to the National Honor Society. Miss Finley received her AB from Albany State. Mr. William Tyler graduated from Tufts University and has a masters degree from Hofstra College. He teaches American History I and also an 8th grade class. We'll never forget his skin-diving and frogman stories. Mr. Owen Reynolds, who has a degree from Iona College and an MA from the University of Notre Dame, can almost always be seen carrying a pile of books with him. Mr. Reynolds appears very quiet, but when annoyed, takes on that Hercules look. He teaches 8th and 9th year history. Mr. Roy W. Croswell teaches the 11th grade honors group American history. Besides this class, Mr. Croswell teaches history in junior high. All right, kiddies, let's get to work now, shall we? Mr. Croswell graduated from New Paltz College. Mr. Roy Baldwin graduated from New Paltz and received his masters from Columbia. Mr. Baldwin teaches 9th grade history and also in the math department. Junior Red Cross members Irene Szymanski, Brenda Witt, and Shelley Temchin with their advisor Mrs. Mc-Entire display the American spirit of sharing with less fortunate nations.
