Our Democracy Is Appreciated SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT History classes are the scenes of battles re- fought by “classroom generals” ranging from the Peloponnesian War, Crusades and the Hundred Years War to the action during World War II and the Korean incident. The history of the world, and the United States take on a new mean- ing and excitement with the addition of films, maps, newspapers, magazines, and projects. The study of these histories helps us partially to un- derstand our own complex world in the light of the past. In the American Government course—our Government’s origin, its growth, its organiza- tion, its powers, and its truly functional charac- ter—are the basic elements that are thoroughly mastered in the course.
