Only by profiting from our past mistakes can we expect to grow. As history is said to repeat it- self, a careful study of what has gone before can help plot the future. Here at Hale ancient history, world history, U. S. history and geography are offered. A visitor to the social studies department in the north wing could not help but be impressed by student displays and lively discussions in progress. Aristotle said, Music is neither a necessary nor a useful accomplishment in the sense in which letters are useful, but it provides a noble and worthy means of occupying leisure time. Our band and orchestra are directed by Clarence Lawless, vocal music by Mrs. Myrtle Stewart. Hubert Hogue along with Mrs. Gail Harwood is responsible for the colorful art work produced by Hale's ambitious art students.

The English Department of Nathan Hale, headed by james Petty, and the foreign language de- partment, headed by Alden Smith, provide excellent opportunities for students to master their own and other languages. A study of grammar insures confidence and poise in both speech and written composi- tion. In order to become an intelligent adult, however, knowledge of classic and contemporary litera- ture is necessary and can be obtained through class participation. Our English courses offer the prepara- tion necessary for future work in speech arts, public speaking, journalism, education and the business world. For these reasons English is required each year for graduation from all Tulsa schools. As our globe grows smaller day by day, easy communication between all nations has become more necessary for the peace of the world. The leadership our country possesses may depend on our interest and the understanding we have for people of all nations. VIN ITA BALLARD History F. A. DRY Biology Phys. Ed.

74wW Nathan Hale is doing its part in meeting the increased pressure from government agencies and pri- vate industries on the public schools. We begin to train personnel in chemical research, physical sci- ence, and biology on the high school level. With an eye on future development of the science program at Hale, Richard Johnston is now considering a course in math analysis for next fall. David Foster has high hopes of shifting science classes so that biology will be offered in the ninth grade, chemistry in the tenth, and physics in the eleventh. This will leave the twelfth free for a research course in science prob- lems and experiments. Our industrial arts and vocational departments headed by joe Large are designed for the purpose of training students in fields that might possibly become their occupational choice. They also provide good experience in crafts that will be of aid or interest in developing hobbies. HARMON LESLIE Phys. Ed.
