Mr. Frank 0. Smith Government To graduate from Jefferson two units are required in history. American history is taken in the junior year and govern- ment in the senior year. We have a very capable staff of his- tory and government teachers. Under the leadership of our history teachers we gain a full knowledge of the government of Virginia and of the United States. We learn about explorers and other famous people who founded, explored, and settled our free nation. We learn more about how it is run in our government class. One of the big events of the school year in this department was the trip to Wil- liamsburg, which was open to all students, here at Jefferson.
