From The Witchcraft Crazei' to '4Davy Crock- ett: Texas Patrioti' range the many fascinating term theme topics which demand the time, .tal- ents, and patience of American history students. Hours of research, note-taking, and planning are necessary to draft a term theme, required in both semesters of American history. Weekly li- brary reports and outside reading also contribute to the study of our nationis political, social, and economic history. World history students explore man's history from the earliest time to the present day. Movies and slides are seen, portraying lost civilizations to the students. The bulletin board in the world history classroom is filled with pictures and clippings of far-off times and places studied by the Scots. In most classes of both American and World history one period each week is de- voted to current events when students are able to discuss current problems and relate them to the study of history. Government, required this year by state law, explains the functions of good government to Scots and stresses the rights of the individual. Economics studies the American free enterprise system, and in both courses a comparison of democracy and communism is discussed and em- phasized. At the end of their one-semester course, com- mercial law students participate in a mock trial, putting into use the elements of everyday law which they have learned. Wanderings of the ancient Celtic tribes are traced by Mr. Pickard in a world history classroom. Ancient, Modern History, Cu rrent Events Mimi Littell has a live model for her research on the development of the automobile . im W
