Twyla Simpson, Linda Machado, and Judy Shook developed the art as Joan Duarte decided to merely watch. uGirls in Agriculture? uWhy not! was the reply given by the Liberty Administration. Suddenly interest was established by the females of Liberty in a new landscaping class offered for the first time to the girls. This past year, the weaker sex of Liberty could have been seen planting flowers, nursing branches, or catering to the whims of an ill plant. Although the new agriculture teachers, Mr. McDowell and Mr. Lewis, expressed their doubts at first, by the end of the year their skepticism had vanished as they witnessed the scene of the levi-clad girls working with the soil and studying to gain a understanding and knowledge of the agricultural world. Because the area around Brentwood is largely agricul- tural, more advanced classes were offered at Liberty in which a deeper study into agriculture in its every aspect was made. GARY LEWIS B.S.

L . 5., v ly , I I s. ,. I Q i OO From Bunker Hill to the Industrial Revolution, from social and racial problems to United States and foreign govern- ments-all Liberty students covered this material in the Social Studies courses. Upon entering Liberty, Freshmen took a Western Civiliza- tion class, wherein they studied the lives and governments of foreign lands. Sophomores explored a new world of State Requirements the first semester. Through this class the students were made more aware of life and the sources of some of its problems. The second semester included a study of Totalitarian Nations. Juniors engaged in U.S. History classes where they gained a new understanding of the past and present of the United States. In this course students reviewed the heritage of our country. In the final year American Government classes were taken in which students first became thoroughly acquainted with the Constitution and the part it plays in their lives. Next they were placed in three separate classes to make deeper studies into the field of Sociology, Economics, or Foreign Relations. New additions to the Social Studies Department were Mr. Davidson, Mr. Snow, Mr. Russell, Mrs. Smithson, and Mrs. Claywell. Utilizing a map of the United States, Mr. Thom pointed out the area ofthe Louisiana Purchase to Gina Alderman and Ray Lucchesi. The over-head proiector aided Linda Cutino in clarifying how a bill becomes a law. 53. -4 27
