HISTORY ~ NEWS
The pupils of the fourth year his
tory class have enthusiastically enter
ed the study of Democracy and types
of foreign governments. At the pres
ent time Communism is being studied.
The class is much interested in this
study as evidenced by the numerous
extra current reports on the subject
that are brought in by the members
of the class. After this detailed study
the pupils are required (by Dictator
Beauchamp) to write a 300 to 500
word thesis on "The advantages of
Democracy over Communism. One
should realize that this study is very
important as these various "Isms" are

took this as warning and frightened.
