A CLOSER WORLD The bulletin board in Miss Rector ' s World Geography class helps students learn of other countries. U. S. History students constructed a clipper ship to illustrate mid 19th century oceanic transportation. U. S. History, World History, and World Geography are studied, not only to give stu¬ dents a better insight into the country in which we live, but also to aid in their understanding of other nations. In order to facilitate learning, filmstrips, tape recorders, record players, and an overhead projector are used. Economics and Government students study the current events of our nation in order to understand their ob¬ ligations to society and their duties as citizens. The American Observer was used this year to supplement classes. Under Mr. Dabney ' s supervision, the World History class correlates their books and maps. Page 20
