EVELYN PURDY History Department With the increase of the school's population the enrollment of the history classes has also grown, and what is more, the students are beginning to like it. They are coming to appreciate history , say the history teachers. In studying the history of countries, both in the Eastern and Western hemispheres, the student receives an invaluable knowledge. The history of the past is the life of the present. History is made daily, and some day in the near future, books will be printed that will tell of life as the people of 1929 know it.
