HISTORICI Social Studies Department One of the privileges and responsibilities we have as Americans living in a democratic nation is thinking for ourselves. In order for us to exercise intelligently our free- dom of thought, it is not enough for us to know only that which lies within the boundaries of America. It is necessary for Americans also to know about the development of man- kind in order to understand better the problems facing our contemporary world. Through the study of such courses as American History, World History, Contemporary Problems, Georgia History, and European History, Savannah High offers to its students an opportunity to gain a thorough knowledge of our own country and a graphic picture of our world. The members of the Social Studies Department are, upper left, Mr. Carol Coons, American History; Miss Anne Beebe, American History and Con- temporary Problems; Mr. Don Anderson, Georgia and World History. In the lower left are. Mr. William Brunner. Georgia and World History; Mrs. Irene Marshall, World History and Family; Mr. Thomas Bryson, Georgia and World History. At the lower right are some members of the Contemporary Problems classes who, by telephone discussed with Senator Herman Talmadge some of the current problems concerning national welfare. The students are Elizabeth Allen, Andy Allen, Robert Eisenman, Sue Ullrich, John Carboncll and Cary Langston. 20

RHETORES English Department Thou comest to use thy tongue; thy story quickly.” So spake Macbeth in one of Shakespeare’s greatest plays. The English language has undergone many changes since that time. A modern teenager with his slang might have said, Unclam, Sam, I gotta’ scram!” In order that the student may have an opportunity to acquaint himself with the changes in the best literary forms as well as in the spoken word, the nineteen faculty mem- bers of Savannah High’s English Department endeavor to teach grammar, composition, speech, and American and English literature. Through continued study in English courses, it is hoped that the student will become actively aware of the correct usage and application of our challeng- ing native tongue. Miss Winnie Sheppard worked diligently as department chairman. Mrs. Mary Jeter helps Doug Lange interpret his literature assignment. English instructors arc: Mrs. Norma Cramer, Mrs. Hazel Bailey, Mrs. Cary Walsh, Mrs. Carolyn Lamb, Mrs. Carolyn Yates, and Mrs. Beulah Harper. 22
