Miss Betty Presson Department Head B.S.g Appalachian State University M.A.g UNC-Chapel Hill World History Mrs. Linda VanPelt B.S.g Appalachian State University World History U.S. History Lecturing on past civilizations, Miss Presson offers instructional guidance to World History students. fe yjasf Gomes fo jbr HISTORY Through the study of ancient times, politics, current events, and government, Northwesterners learn to adapt to their present environment. They discover the responsibilities and privileges of being American citizens. History in its broadest sense is the story of man's past. The emergence of recorded history began with the Ancient Greeks. It is with this western civilization that the study of world history begins. Through their studies students explore numerous countries and learn how their governments operate. United States History focuses on the founding and growth of our country. Beginning with the discovery of America and continuing through the Revolution and both World Wars, U.S. history students study how their forefathers paved the way for modern civilization. Operating along with United States History is Government. This course is a detailed study of the judicial legislative and administrative departments of our own governing bodies. Current events play an important role in U.S. History and Government. Students examine present- day problems and learn how to cope with the rapidly changing world. Another course offered in the history department at Northwest is Sociology and Econo- mics. This course deals with the laws governing human behavior in groups and with manis physical needs and wants. Together these courses enable Northwest students to understand their past and to learn how to handle the present environmental problems. Mrs. VanPelt contemplates the subject matter before answering. 4

The hesitancy in answering, or the uncertainty of the correct answer, is always present in the minds of Northwest's French Students. From the moment a student steps inside the door, the atmosphere is like that of no other classroom on campus. Conversations are held exclusively in French, English is used only when absolutely necessary. French students expect to make use of their livres de francais every night. Even when no assignment is made, brushing up,' is required. Combining work, fun, and determination, students learn to appre- ciate this foreign language. Thanks to a well-equipped language lab and our talented instructors, French is made both intriguing and interesting.
