Present

T hroughout the ages man
has attempted to uncover
the mysteries of his past.
The Pine Crest History Depart­
ment attempted no less ambi­
tious a task.
Indeed, if Herodotus were
alive today, he certainly would
be proud to see his work being
carried out so vigorously on
this campus.
From world civilizations to
American history to global
insights, the Social Studies
Department offered a multi­
tudinous array of subjects to
satisfy each student's in­
dividual curiosity about his
own niche in the social sphere.
Many students opted for U.S.
History A.P. or Modern Eur­
opean History, courses to
provide a stimulating challenge
for the young intellect. Lourdes
Cowgill, an A.P. U.S. History
student, commented, "This is
one of the most interesting
courses I've ever taken. Mr.
Barber really makes his lectures
exciting. I sometimes feel as
though I’m actually reliving the
Civil War or Watergate, or any
historical event.”

While lecturing his A.P. U.S. History
students, Mr. Amzi Barber brings to life
the bloody Battle of Antietam.

During her social studies class, Marta
Aguilar pays close attention to the
explanation of the United States judicial
system.
As geography is a very important
aspect of history, Sam Topp points
out the location of Paraguay to
classmates Joel Gegerson, Richard
Ramnath, and Christine Busto.
