What better way is there to prevent flaws in our govern- ing bodies and way of life than by studying the serious mistakes and consequences ol those who went before us? At Lansdowne-Aldan, freshmen direct their talents to the study of our own state government, its origin, the various divisions which comprise it, and our privileges and responsibilities as citizens of Pennsylvania. Spanning the period from ancient times to present day life, world history presents to the inquisitive sophomores the growth of our world civilization. Sophs learn that all tew often cul- tures were destroyed by man’s hungry quest for power which eventually resulted in the dese- cration of the “little man” by an over-authori- tive few. But in America the “little man” found a haven from European despots. Through hard-earned rights he became important. Juniors trace this growth of “equal liberties for all” from America's birth to our present nation which stands as a symbol to persecuted people throughout the world. Soon to have an important part in solving world problems, the seniors devote their time in world affairs classes investigating world prob- lems and the work of the United Nations, in hopes that some day they may help in the reali- zation of world peace.
