I-listowg D Opens New Doom with ' Because the past is still an important part of today, the study of history is en- couraged. Required courses are world his- tory, American history, and civics. Oth- ers, Texas history, sociology, and econom- ics, are offered as electives. The aim of history courses is to make the student aware of his heritage, and to see how the past relates to the present. With history as the basis, civics in the senior year prepares the student to take his place as a responsible part of his gov- ernment. MRS. JULIE PARTON Civics.
