Something interesting, Iulia? , Doug Cole and Barbara Shlnn ask. WORLD HISTORY helps gain for us a background of the world before and after the birth of Christ. The Egyptian, Babylonian, Roman, Greek, Asiatic, and Chinese empires are all studied in world history. From these empires we acquired many of our modern day cultures , inventions , and words . Let's take the word GEOGRAPHY apart and see what each letter stands for. First is G , which tells about Great Britain. E is for Europe and O for the Orient. G takes us to Germany and R to Russia. Next we travel to A for America and to mgoccizachezzar 9eIf5 aAng grealf wilflt lmfory 5f1,w!erLf5 The social science curricula in our school is mainly of a historical nature. The first gathering of the day of the social science classes is that of AMERICAN HISTORY. A class in American history may consist of studying the War Between the States, presidents, vice-presidents, French and Indian War, American. Revolution, the union of our country, purchasing of United States territories and others too numerous to mention, all of which contributed to the building of our great nation, Don't be so industrious, Larry. The rest of the geography class :seem to be finding the answer by simply discussing it. Philippines for P . H is for Hawaii and Y is for the country of Yugoslavia. Thus completing our world tour of geography. Last but far from least is the subject of WORLD PROBLEMS. You will find the classes studying about the presidency, farm problems, labor situation, and any current news . All in all social science is one great drama which we help produce. This current event movie must really be tops--you all look so inter- ested. l 20

PHYSICS is the science of energy, of the transformations of energy and of its relation to matter. More of a boys' course, PHYSICS is divided broadly into mechanics, acoustics, optics, heat, electricity andmag- netism , and the constitution and properties of matter. Later on in the day we go to freshman, or GENERAL SCIENCE. Here Mr. Mathis tries desperately tc give the little green freshmen an over all picture of science. He tries to prepare them for the coming years of school. Don't fret, Mrs. Henry, we didn't forget BIOLOGY. BIOLOGY is one of the most interesting of the sciences, although it isn't really considered a science. Here you learn all about the soil, the plants, the animals, etc. After studying these, you turn to the human being and dwell upon him the rest of the year. You learn the different diseases he may have, how to control them, and many other things. All in all, the sciences are very interesting, and if you really show an interest, you can acquire valuable knowledge.

Is that to illustrate your report in Consumer's Math, Don? ask :g1PRT ?'he hesnman math Class is Showing you lust how to do Duane Smith and Larry Standley. S equa lon' Wadtemaficd Z5 Am We all know that 2-r2 : 4, but high school math is more complicated than that, for high school students must learn all about equations , exponents , and graphs. The fundamentals of math--addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division--are offered the freshman year in a course known as GENERAL MATHEMATICS. The freshmen are also offered another course--ALGEBRA . Here, factors, radicals and x , which used to be Greek to them become English. Progressing up the ladder of knowledge, tenth graders have only to look outside to be able to see examples of GEOMETRY. By the use of theorems they learn that these geometric forms can be resolved into definite areas such as circles, squares or triangles. At the top of the ladder, we find ADVANCED ALGEBRA and SOLID GEOMETRY. These courses are taken by the girls and boys who wish to prepare for college. These are often called the brains , technically they are the ones who have the perseverance to learn about quadratics, cubes, and parallelepiped. Oh yes, we mustn't forget about CONSUMER'S MATH, which prepares the students for the happenings of everyday life. Iay, Fred, and Iudy seem to be very interested in.so1id geometry I wonder if those little cubes have anything to do with it? 21
