Many speakers visited classes, United States and Virginia His- tory, American and Virginia Gov- ernment, World History, and and the importance of local, state and national citizenship. World Geography are the courses offered by Patrick Henry's History Department. For the benefit of the individual differences found in students, courses are offered on A and B levels. Emphasis is placed on a certain topic of current events each year. This year Freshmen and Sophomore classes emphasized Russian history and culture while Junior and Senior classes studied about Communism. Also, much time was taken to investigate the non-western cultures of the world, giving students fascinating views on topics from the Common Mar- ket, to missionary work in China, to Roanoke history. A study of weekly magazines added to class discussion. Next year, a course will be offered on the subject: Contem- porary United States History. Thus, students are given op- portunity to select from numerous courses, giving them various types of historic knowledge while acquir- ing their three units af history re- quired for graduation. Patsy Reynolds and Carol Rapp are creat- ing space-like structures from material sent to the Art Department from the Roanoke Fine Arts Center. Meredith Pollard and Susan Dern, in front of a screen depicting four seasons, admire some Japanese articles which Miss Bailey collected while teaching in Japan. Thre tea set, ash tray, and okoto, a Japanese harp with thirteen strings, are some of the interesting things shown in the world geography class. 36
