Not everyone likes history classes, even though we constantly make and re-make our own histories. History is not the study of dates but the understanding gained of one’s self in the perspective of place. Star Trek and the host of space science fiction that have evolved from it call this "the space-time continuum." It’s still one’s sense or understanding of place.

Our history teachers worked hard, challenging us to think critically about our time and times past leading up to our time. They sought to inculcate within us our own emerging sense of place and, by extrapolation, our individual roles within that place.

The 1970 Aquila was dedicated to a history teacher, Mr. Keith Rountree.
