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

If so, then worry no more boys, for the Liberty Home Economics Department was busy this past year teaching the girls those skills which helped Mom capture Dad. It is said the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. And what boy could have resisted the tantalizing aromas that floated through the air around C wing. Not only did the girls learn everything from the seven basic food classifications to meal planning for large groups but also they were continually persuaded to try the latest recipes from tomato soup cake to Danish nut rolls. Being a good homemaker is being thrifty. ln this respect a good seamstress would be a handy wife. This past year freshman girls were busy setting in sleeves and turning up hems. Upperclassmen diligently lined spring suits and winter coats and later donned well-made formals for admiring beaus. Advanced students dreaming of the homes they would someday own planned their imaginative homes and selected furniture, silverware and other accessories that a home cannot be without. The girls were also instructed by Mrs. Glenn, a new teacher to this department, on decorating and general home management.
