Who was Rivers Wilson? History l066l 1492! 1588! 1789! 1815! Dates, dates, and more dates. Why couldn't everything happen in the same year? This is the plaintive cry of the sophomore studying for his first history exam. Haverford offers a well diversified and stimulating course of study in the field of history. The sophomore is exposed to World History, ably taught by Miss Utz and the Messrs. Breuninger, Huber, and Valenti. This course offers a study of European and Asiatic countries from ancient times until the present. American History, expertly handled by the Messrs. Hughes and Livingston, constitutes the history program for juniors. Here the pupil studies every phase of American history, from the settling of Jamestown in 1607 to the conclusion of the Korean War. And now, the piece de resistance. Seniors at last, and history is not required. Surprisingly, though, most students choose to continue their study of history, and so two elective courses are offered. The more popular of the two is P.O.D., taught by Mr. Shiplett lfor those unenlightened individuals, P.O.D. means Problems of Democracyl. Students taking this course are accustomed to getting their fingers ink-smudged reading Time Newsweek, and U. S. News and World Report - major requirements. P.O.D. deals mainly with current events and present world problems. Last, but not least, for stalwart, ambitious, and book-laden seniors, Mr. Stinson offers his European International Relations course. Affectionately l?l referred to as E.l.R., this college-preparatory course covers three units of study-The Industrial Revolution, The First World War, The Second World War. When a student completes his history course at Haverford, he will have a knowledge of the things that have made history. ROBERT A. JAMES SHIPLETT MARGARET L. UTZ ARTHUR R.

RODNEY A. SELL BERNICE GILMORE GAYLE MEACHAM THELMA PERKINS MARGARET A. RIES Detention Jr. Classical League Lacrosse Detention Basketball Language During his three years at Haverford, a student is introduced to the works of Poe, Irving, Chaucer, Shake- speare, Milton, and many other great literary names. This is all accomplished by our fine English Department. ln his sophomore year, the student is introduced to World Literature, taught by the Misses Abernathy, Gallo- way, and Helbig. In the junior year, American Literature, under the auspices of Miss Jones, Miss Ott, Mr. Crispin, and Mr. Leute, dominates the scene. English Literature, which constitutes the major part of senior English, is taught by the Misses Brown, Nickerson, and Pike. All in all, after completing the English courses at Haverford, the student has had training in the use of English grammar and vocabulary, and has a working knowl- edge of world literature. Do you have a secret yearning to travel to Europe, or do you hope to go to South America one day? Well, no matter where you choose to travel abroad, a knowledge ot the French, German, and Spanish languages is a neces- sity. Haverford offers a two year program in these three languages. Miss Meacham presides over the French classes, Mr. Sell is in charge of the German classes, and the Misses Perkins and Ries teach Spanish. Perhaps you are interested in ancient Rome and the Latin language. ln that case, Miss Gilmore is the person to see. Latin at H.H.S. is taught for four years. With such a varied linguistic program, the students of H.H.S. can become acquainted with the basic language techniques of the world's fundamental languages.
