Good leaders know what great leaders have done, replied Mr. Truitt, Social Studies Department Head. Leadership is a combination of personality and knowledge? Knowledge is acquired through learning. 23 The course, Social Studies, provides records of previous great leaders and events for student studies. No Other subject deals with leadership as deeply. The basis of Social Studies is built on leadership. Unlike past years, enrollment in Social Studies classes is divided evenly between the 6 Social Studies Department classes. Students now choose specific Subjects that interest them; therefore they more eagerly learn. Mr. Truitt feels Social Studies teachers hold an advantage over most because of this. Each year Social Studies Department teachers order new filmstrips and materials to make their Classes as interesting and informative as possible.

Leadership in foreign languages helps prepare students for later life. Communication between foreign countries, especially leaders, is becoming increasingly important. Students having leadership qualities may wish to seek careers in foreign languages. Mr. Krey feels student interest is on an uprise. In previous years, student interest has increased, stated the French and Spanish teacher. I would like to see student interest kept at this high Ievelf' This year, interest seemed to be evenly divided between the 3 languages taught. The choice of 3 languages requires students to choose the languages they are most interested in. This interest sets up better learning situations between students and teachers. Foreign language department head, Mr. Krey revealed that the purchase of new French textbooks was the only major change this year. t ' , t n. w :5 I. f .t X: Top Left: Kim Fannin discusses her Latin exercises with Miss Allgeyer, Top Right: Mr. Krey lectures his French I class.
