5 , x 1 ir Mr. Frank Andreone Dept. Chairman Mr. Paul Cullen ,ggi-.. WW The history department teaches subjects cov- ering a wide range of interests. In addition to world history and American history, students can elect courses in political science, economics Asianstudies, and sociology. Electives usually require ,college textbooks: and they are college- oriented in depth, amount ot outside reading, techniques, and evaluation. The major goa of the history decpartment is to saturate its students with ideas an force them to think. Students are encouraged to voice their opinions, to de- bate current issues, and to increase their know- ledge of the world around them. Regardless of the mark he achieves, a history student can be counted successful if he has learned to partici- pate in the give and take of classroom activities and discussion.
