Tomorrow ne ’er comes! Through all of our study of history, we try to prepare ourseh ' es for tomorrow and all the days of our uncertain fut ure. We are so husy worrying about what may take place or what is already behind us that ve forget to appreciate today. We forget that we— teachers and students— are making a past and a future for others, and we have only the present for ourselves. The Social Studies department of ffarding High School invites the students to broaden their horizons in the r arious fields of American History, World History, Government, Psychology, and Sociology. Our purpose is not to fill the minds with facts but with curiosity about our past, our present, and our possible future. Such questions as ‘Who am I?,” “What makes me think as I do?,” “What are other people trying to tell me?” will serve to strengthen the understanding of the individual and the part he plays in the world. Every tomorrow becomes a today; study carefully what you will make of your life!

New textbooks are being used which introduce some knowl- edge of the structure of the number system and at the same time emphasize the development of skill in com- putation. A broad program is offered for the student who plans to continue his training in college, or in some technical or trade school.
