It is a path towards improvement of communications. Studying languages enables us to understand ourselves and others. The English courses emphasize grammar and literature. Students study specific writing skills and practice their use. They study the techniques of others in learning to clearly express themselves. The study of literature provides an understanding of people. By studying the structure and meaning of literature, students gain an insight into and understanding of themselves as well as of others. The study of foreign languages is the key to world understanding. Two such languages, French and German, are offered in our school. The study of languages is basically a study of the formal grammar and culture of the language. It is hoped that students will acquire a working knowledge of the language and will be able to put it to use if they should ever be in a situation requiring such knowledge. . 14

Through the social studies department, young people are taught how to live in and understand the world around them. Every high-school student will be given the privilege to vote in a few years. With this power, he is able to help maintain and shape his government. The part every citizen takes in his government will depend upon the training he has had from the social studies department. Truly we learn from the past and our own and others’ experiences. With the knowledge of the history of the world we are able to regulate the present and plan for the future wisely. 16
