Historical Facts, Concepts To Understand The Age
Headed by Acting Headmaster William Wyatt, the History Department provided the groundwork for a basic understanding of American heritage, especially for the underclassmen. For the older students, more viable concepts of philosophical and governmental factors contributing to the growth of the world today was the focus.
Teaching Early Civilization for freshmen, Mr. Norman Blake presented the material from the point of view of revolutions and ideas, stressing the two factors as essential to a basic comprehension of history. Courses in Modern World History taught by Mr. Ricardo Palomares and Mr. Blake were a broad study of the major trends in historical contribution to modern thought.
In helping prepare juniors for the more intricate study of U. S. Government, Mr. Nathaniel Jobe, Mr. Rodney Goggin and Mr. Leroy Atkins taught American History.
