Social Studies The social study curriculum is a poignant and important step in the development of a civically- minded student. United States history students, guided by Sister Nlartin Therese, probe into the depths of democracy by fostering patriotism which their freedom-loving forefathers so dearly cherished. Conducting world history classes is Sister Agnes Eugene pointing out the trying times endured by the Church. We are also shown that through the efforts of the early Popes and clerics, the Church lifted herself from obscurity, lib- eralizing herself from restraint and thereby establishing the proper relationship between man and his Creator. ln- troduced with the notion of our ancestral heritage we become more appreciative of the life which is ours. The third social study is in the form of sociology in which students, by examining carefully the different man- nerisms of their foreign neigh- bors, gain a profound under- standing that disparity of cult is of no consequence in the brotherhood of mankind. Denise Demers points out to John Philippo, Paula Guerin, and William Schneider, the strategic areas concentrated upon in World History class. Sister Agnes Eugene assists Susan Julian, Louise Daigle, David Bellerive and Joanne Galipeau as they prepare research topics on the effect the Crusades had on the setup of the feudal system. 9-p--vw-P.-wwma. glqmwwwvma- -- -gpw-..-J..-we WM.. - ik -r 17
