The Past And Present Prepares Students For Future In order to understand the present and to prepare for the future, one must study and understand the past. The courses offered at Watauga ranged from world history to Democracy in Action. Some of the courses dealt with the government of different countries. Others were about the history of the world and how it has changed. Family Liv- ing was added to the department this year to help stu- dents understand family life. From the study of the world as it was and as it is now, we can make plans for a brighter and more secure future. ‘Len G. Evans Doughton L.
