SOCIAL STUDIES GIVE LIFE J J 1 ■ ft D. Fox, C. Mason, G. Sachsel, R. Yanchus. MISSING: D. Carl, J. Cusumano, A. Gonnella, E. Jasin- ski, P. Karish, S. Pantini, M. Shereshewsky. PAULINE KEITH, D.C. History is not just a series of dates, it is a record of people living, experiment- ing, and learning to profit from the experience they gain in order to construct a better world for themselves. The explanation and understanding of these people and their contributions is the main concern of the Social Studies Depart- ment. Through such courses as Modern European History, History of the Far East, Development of Western Thought, Economics, United States History, Psy- chology, and Sociology we are able to learn of the history and culture of the world ' s diverse peoples, whose ideas and actions greatly influence ours. If we are able to say, I know the past, then we may rightly say, I know some- thing of the future, for a knowledge of the past prepares one to profit from man ' s past errors and to derive experience from his folly. Learning to understand and interpret man ' s actions in the past and in modern times presents the main challenge to the student. Fulfilling these demands, he is more competent and better prepared to live a fuller, more beneficial life.

WE ARE UNITED BY LANGUAGE AUGUST CAPRIO, D.C. Years ago the need for understanding other languages was not great. One person ' s sphere of life was very limited, whereas the outside world was a spacious undefined extension of a dream. As men of all tongues draw closer together personal spheres expand and exotic dreams become realities. Had man made no attempt to communicate with people of different nations, the great countries of this world would be lagging, isolated tribes. Fortunately the interest in progress and peace has motivated man to learn from and contribute to his neighbors of foreign birth. Jonathan Dayton, seeking to fulfill its role in furthering these goals, has made available the study of four foreign languages — German, French, Spanish, and Latin. Experience in conver- sation, an investigation of significant literature of the lan- guages, and historical and cultural information are offered. Conscientious students find the courses of our language de- partment, coordinated by August Caprio, both lucrative and en- joyable. I saw you close that window! Je vais, tu vas, il vas . . .
