A Bridge etween dst Am! Future History is the branch of knowledge that records and explains the events of the pastf' But history has a larger scope than this limited definition. History also explains the present, through the past we can gain a better un- derstanding of the society and the institutions of today. At Waterford High School, history encompasses this two dimensional aspect-the present as well as the past. Ancient History and Modern European History offer concise views of the 'past The rise and fall of ancient empires, the development of the European na- tions and the formation of many institutions which we have inherited are studied in these courses. In United States History, Contemporary Affairs, Problems of De- mocracy, and World Geography, present day affairs are studied. By viewing past and present experiences ob- jectively, we are able to mold our future more decisively. Ken Kittridge confers with a fellow student.

A Bridge etween eoples The language department offers four lan- guages, French, Spanish, Latin, and German. Each of these languages demands many disci- plines. The student must first grasp the vocabu- lary then master the spoken language and finally understand its subtleties. Both audio and visual aids are used in an attempt to master the lan- guages. By crossing language barriers one begins to close the cultural gap and thus increase inter- national understanding. However, the knowl- edge of these languages includes not only gram- mar, but also the literature. Both ancient and modern works are studied to give the students a flavor of the tradition of these countries. Through a knowledge of the literature, an in- sight into the lives and customs of the foreign countries is acquired. Thus, an appreciation of the various cultures promotes a means of inter- cultural understanding.
