Therefore, it is necessary to study history in the light of the past, present, and future, in order to determine its influence and effect on today’s living. Professional guidance in this regard is provided by the Social Studies Department. American History, a two year course, is taken by all students. Beginning with the founding of the American colonies, the program concludes with the present day. Additional courses given are as follows: psychology, political science, economics, sociology, world government, and economic geography. Current events and discus¬ sions, with every student encouraged to partici¬ pate, make up an integral part of the program. Ample time is devoted to debates, discussions, individual research as well as group projects, films, and recordings. All these strive to stimulate the student’s desire to evaluate and absorb the facts influencing the growth of America. There is no better way to cope with present day changes than to research the ways of the past, expertly guided by our Social Studies Department. WALTER KINSELL History I agree with Lincoln that we cannot escape history.” Mr. L. Lanzalotto strikes a reflective pose during one of his lectures. 18
