Students Stud History's Mistakes to Meet the Future Brandenburg Gate Closed-VVorld in Turmoil Over Berlin-Cold VVar Getting VVarmerl Past civilization had not heard of these crises, they had their own pressing problems. We must study not only current events but also history which has recorded the outcome of problems for centuries to understand. History does repeat itself and sometimes it is disastrous. Our Social Studies Department, headed by Miss Maude Miller, is preparing us for an active part in to- morroW's world. American Problems, American History, World Geography or World History are required for graduation. Latin American History, History Seminar, VVorld Problems and Humanities are advanced classes. 'lin William Duffen shows his student Dale Hunt his prize collection of Civil War momentos of letters, money, and guns. SOCIAL STUDIES . . .

Teachers, stu- dents and parents here at Catalina have realized this ques- tion will be answered in the near future and are doing their best to prepare for it. The increased interest in our future can be seen in the enlarged enrollment in chemistny, physics, and biology, and by the fact that for the first time there were honor classes SCIENCE . . .

Students Searching for 'An Escape' Find It in Books 'I Library staff members are: front, Mrs. Emily Griggs and Mrs. Lu- anne Scheuerman, back, Miss Grace Hamilton and Mrs. Arlene Lawson. The library is not only an important part of the school but one of the busiest. Varied duties confront head librarian Mrs. Emily Griggs, her assistant Mrs. Luanne Scheuerman and the two clerks. To aid this staff, student librarians offer their help in checking out books, issuing magazines, and stacking. Last year the library checked out a total of over 41,000 books to a traffic of 12,990 students. This year the system of checking out books was simplified by the addition of new charging machines. Each year the library is increased by over two thousand new books. It is hoped that the library may expand in the future, so it can accommodate more students. Gffice and Maintenance Staff Important to Catalina The office and maintenance staff perform many im- portant and necessary services to the school. The offices are the hub around which Catalina re- volves. The office employees spend their time doing the tedious paper work and assisting people over the phone. Mrs. Jean Morris handles the many phone calls which pour into the switchboard daily. Another important part of Catalina, is the bookstore, convenient for buying books and supplies. Trojans also appreciate Mrs. Leona Kortilla, school nurse, as someone to rely upon when ill. Also aware of the students' health, Mrs. Lucille Di Lor- enzo, school dietician, supervises Catalina's lunch program. Inside Catalina, engineers Irvin Reister and Harry Phenis are in charge of heating, air conditioning, and electricity. Outside Catalina, Manny Gastellum, head cus- todian, and his staff keep the buildings and immediate grounds immaculate. After the school is deserted, Mr. A. I.
