Avenues of Understanding The spoken word is the only avenue of communication and understanding between human beings. This points out the advantage in being able to undestond and speak the tongues of other nationalities. Without a thorough knowledge of English, however, we would soon be lost in our present day civilization. Therefore, a study of English literature, composition, and grammar was a required four-year course for all students at Luers. Latin I and II were offered to freshmen and sophomores with an op- portunity for advanced study presented to upperclassmen in Latin III and IV. Two years of French were available to all interested girls, while boys were invited to try their hands at German I and II. Other juniors and seniors at- tempted to master the techniques of Spanish I and II. Freshmen were introduced to the complexities of first yeor Latin. French students were aided in their study by the use of French dialogue records.

Through Economic Geography these students gained an understanding of global economic conditions. Building Historians claim that only through a careful analysis of our past mistakes, con we better the war torn, poverty-stricken world of the present. This con no longer be done by the adults of our country; the problem must now be faced by up- coming generations. In school today we attempt to find some of the much needed answers to the perplexing how ' s and why ' s of the past. The freshmen found some of these answers through their course in World History. As an elective sophomores studied geographical ef- fects and conditions around the world in Eco- nomic Geography. American history aided the juniors in understanding the present through a study of the past. Seniors acquired a new in- sight into the difficult ways of our government through a thorough study of civics.
