Jlbifaay 261264101801 Boundaries of countries have changed cmd are being changed, there is constant fight- ing in Chinap people are starving in Greece, and the United Nations are working hard to keep world peace. Yes, each day we are living history. Newspapers are crammed with world-shaking events, and the student's history lesson is no longer a dry subject. Now he feels himself a part of each event and in a manner responsible for many coming events which may cast their shadow. If history was never one of your favorite subjects perhaps it was because you did not study the course. Because history can be fun and work at the same time. And you stu- dents with college ahead take heed-history is a most significant subject. Marks should be in the higher bracket. History has turned modern with its use of brightly colored maps, motion pictures and various magazines which add life to the once seemingly-dead subject. No longer do we study one textbook, but also refer to innumerable supplementary texts, which present his- tory as one of the fastest moving courses of the curriculum. If it's true that history repeats itself, then ancient history takes on new meaning. The future army and navy men certainly do not Want to make the same mistake that Caesar and other would-be world conquerors made. American History comes into its own with more interest shown in Paul Revere and other American heroes. Students have really been awakened to the importance of understanding and interpreting the maxim- history tory as one of the fastest-moving courses of trepeats itself. -'wt ,.

Miss Marie Culliton and class eammefzciczf One teacher has said, Shorthand takes blood, and sweat, and tears, if you are determined to get it. And so it is with every subject that you Want to master. The industrious commercial student studies for months and years until he is ready to go out into the World and seek a place in the various business fields. The grilling, and grinding, and pronouncing, and Writing in short- hand class is not in vain. Even the student who thought he couldn't get shorthand got it, if he had the will. Then comes the clickety-clack ot the typewriter keys. The bell ringsg the carriage zingsg and you begin another line. Thirty Words, forty-iitty-
