Johnson, B.A., William and Mary M.E., University of Virginia History NOT PICTURED: Mrs. Betty B. Tillar, B.S., Mary Washington English, History History, English And Foreign The departments of history, English, and foreign languages have as their goal developing in the student an understanding of the social, political, and cultural aspects of the world about him. Through studying history, the stu¬ dent comes to realize how vital past events are in influencing the modern world. Man’s strivings throughout history for self-per¬ fection are in turn reflected in his literature and in his languages, for these are the means by which he expresses his thoughts and emotions. An awareness of man’s past is provided in the five courses offered students in ancient and modern European history, world geography, American history, and American government. Lit¬ erature and means of self-ex¬ pression are emphasized in five required English courses. Fin¬ ally, students are given a chance to learn an ancient language, Latin, and the modern language of diplomacy, French. Those who have completed courses in these departments of history, English, and foreign languages have de¬ veloped an accurate concept of the outside world. Teachers eagerly gather at the front of the lunch line. Wayne Death shows Mrs. McBride his English project, a. replica of the Globe theater of Shakespeare ' s day.
