English History The curriculum at Parkersburg High School includes four years of history, the 'first year being devoted to Civics, a study of our national government. The following year, World History is a requisite tor most courses. This study re- views man's history 'From the time of the cave man, through the rise and fall ofthe world's great civilizations, to the present with its cold war and atomic weapons. United States History, emphasizing our American heritage, is studied during the junior year. Every year, the iunior mem- bers of these history classes elect one boy and one girl to represent them at Know Your State Government Day in Charleston. Most seniors take American Problems, a comprehensive study of governmental functions and current affairs, however, in- dustrial arts students may waive this course to take United States History in its place. Members of the American Problems classes assist the Student Council in conducting stu- dent body elections in exactly the same manner as national elections are held. Speech students gain valuable practice in voice training when they use th microphone and tape recorder. The lournalism class assures us that this is the prevailing spirit when they ve gone to press. Miss Langfitt notlhes Tom and Marcia that they are to represent the school at Know Your State Government Day.
