The class of 1970 has been exposed to more and better plays, records, books, television documentaries, and recorded poetry than any class before them. They have been bombarded with a myriad of ideas and opinions. They have seen a new, and, let us hope, better world unfolding before their eyes. The task of presenting and interpreting the results of the cultural explosion of the 1960's has fallen upon the able shoulders of the English Department. In this day and age, individuals must not only seek out their own beliefs, but they must be able to defend them, through both the spoken and written word. The instructors of this department guide these curious students to take their place in a world of culture. Miss Olive Katter is chairman of the department. [ 29 ]

dihhjhij VftafoA JhiA 'IjsaA History is more engrossing than ever this year. Students have a wide variety of choices in this subject. Juniors study American history and learn about the heritage of our country. In their senior year, in their Problems of Democracy classes, they learn about the intricate system of government in the United States. P. 0. D. is not easy, but can prove to be very interesting! If a student is bored with modern know-how and wants to delve into the ancient past, he may take a course in ancient history, where he learns how primitive peoples lived. A course in English history is also available if a student is interested. History can be a very entertaining and rewarding subject, especially here at Johnstown High. Mrs. Margaret Bowes is chairman of the department.
