AMERICA HERITAGE TRESSED BY SOCIAL SCIENCE DIVISION It is very important today that young people develop a sense of appreciation for their country. We need to become aware of the world around us, its problems and needs, so that we may be effective citizens in the future. Dr. Gerard A. Reed, Associate Professor of History, instructs both in the history of our country and of the world. He is able to dissect the knowledge, bring it down to our level and help us to learn from events in the past. In order to understand today's world, we need to understand yesterdayls. Professor Jack T. Rairdon, Associate Professor of History, instructs in the areas of political science and sociology, acquainting the student with the world in which he lives today. We, as students, need to know how our government operates and how others around us live, so that we may become interested, active and well- informed citizens. Kay Neuenschwander prepares one of the weekly required magazine reports for Prof Rairdons American Govern- men t class. GERARD A.
