 Are you all aware of your constitutional rights—and mine? asks Mr. Marrah. HISTORY To gain a more complete understanding of the world and the complex society in which we live, we must primarily acknowledge man’s past; his achievements as well as his failures. It is the goal of the History Department to inform us of this story of man. In addition to American History, World History, and American Government, the department introduced two new courses: Democracy vs. Communism and Contemporary Events. Both are unique in that each is primarily concerned with current events and that each was brought upon by student interest. A supplementary study, Negro History, which deals basically with the role of the Negro in our development as a nation has been incorporated into regular American history courses.

To keep in step with the times, the language department placed a greater emphasis on the mechanics of writing the language to meet current needs, especially in preparing students for College Boards. A plan, begun this year in the ninth grade, grouped students according to ability and skill rather than by previous years of language study. Our prized language laboratory was also put to extra use by the growing school population. Mr. Harry Dicks French 23
