WOOD: St, Michaels C, B.A.g U Conn, English, Ancient History, Geography. Students of high school age begin to question the worth of the in- stitutions that are a part of their present. Why has society come to this pass? What should be our goals? History is an attempt to answer these questions and to pose for the student some counter-questions to test his own developing sense of values about his present. The study of history is the study of man's nature reflected in many situations. It is the study of many past experiments, the quest for ideals. As there has been failure in success, there has been success within failure. The purpose of studying history is to learn from successes and 'is ures of the past, to give proper balance to the affairs of the present. The student can learn from the past, learn what his forth-coming adult duties will be and develop his present values accordingly. KL . . 19
