History Department Utilizes Geography Northwood's Social Studies Department invited students to investigate new areas of interest. United States History and Government classes reviewed previous historical development as ' from exploration days to present times. Classroom experience included the use of many supplimentary machines and materials such as maps, charts, and timelines. An additionally required course for juniors was lVlodern World History. Students took special interest in gaining a better understanding of the elements which form the basis of present foreign living. lVlodern European History students continued to pursue the study of Europe since Renaissance times. Psychology and sociology classes studied human nature and tst.. t..., man's position in society. The difficulties of modern life were xx NN. xx X Nwskwmx 5.

Although looking at history from different points of view, all social studies courses offered students a better knowledge of man. World History teacher lVlrs.

Literature Bridges Language Barrier Foreign language courses stressed grammatical and conver- sational skills to help students comprehend and discuss the literature studied in class. Different levels of French students studied both classic and modern French works by such authors as Saint-Exupery, Moliere, Vercors, and Hugo. Mrs. Boone attempted to give her students a greater insight into the French language by introducting a festival of French films. Beginning German courses made use of crossword puzzles to aid students in increasing their vocabulary, providing a firm basis for later German studies. A field trip to a German school provided a meaningful experience for the students. Oral drills kept the students skilled in their use of the language. Using taped conversation drills, Spanish students broadened their knowledge of the language and culture of Spain. Newspapers that familiarized students with the activities of youth in Spanish speaking countries supplemented the regular class- room curriculum. A field trip to the Pan American building and a Spanish restaurant provided students with an enjoyable and an educational experience. First year Latin students concentrated on elementary gram- mar. Exercises in the translation of Julius Caesar and Livy gave a history of Rome to the students. The advanced students worked on translating Cicero's orations and the poetry of Virgil and Homer. As part of their curriculum Latin students read and studied Roman mythology. While her French 5 class is busily taking a test, Mrs. Margaret Boone searches through a Match magazine for supplementary reading material. ,Sem eggs, A , QX1E.wfQt-iii? ewiaxmiaww?-.a' Va A ' srf' V ' 'vs 3 Q .. 5 Ss X ii?
