GE ERATIO SPAST Living in a world with so many different types of people with very dif- ferent outlooks influences us to be as we are. The history of our country, so- ciety as a whole, and an individual himself are all main factors of today's way of life. The more we know about the past, and problems faced by each generation, the better we understand the world of today. ln this way, study- ing past and present generations en- ables us to create a better tomorrow. The study of our land and govern- ment is important for us as individuals to better understand the world in which we live. The History classes study from the pioneers, our earliest heritage, to the advanced age of today. In Government classes, students get the opportunity to study the frame- work of our own form of government. Larry Hopkins and Ioe Graves spoke to the classes giving the students an insight into the way political cam- paigns are carried out, Students become involved in our local elections, fcontinued pg. 261 T il fi ,Q im V 3 t , z 2 3 i.

Classes get a better understanding of problems of the community and in this way learn methods of eliminating these problems encountered in our social everyday living. Psychology narrows down the sub- ject to the individual himself. The psy- chology classes illustrate a person's inner feelings by giving skits dealing with the problems a person comes in contact with during everyday life. The Social Studies curriculum deals with the searching of ourselves and the type of society in which we live. By doing this, we are able to get a better understanding of the past, present, and hopefully of the future. Each individual has a responsibility to himself, his community, his nation, and his world. By implementing some of the ideas learned in Social Studies, a student becomes a better citizen. .f, Q. HY WE ARE A2 f r g W a IM' k 2 ,mimi 1 I. '. .
