Highlanders receive a broad background in the field l of social studies, American and'lndiana History pro- vides seventh and eighth graders with a better under- standing ofthe United States and the people who built it. Mr. Irvin Cash's United States History classes were further enlightened by viewing How the West Was Won on the cinema screen. World History correlates the growth of our young nation with the struggles encountered by the rest of the world. Countries, cities, and large rivers are more easily located when students study geography. Atlases, text- books, globes, and salt maps contribute to the value of the course. Film strips, movies, and tape recordings supplemented textbooks and lectures delivered by Mr. Cash in his government classes. Mr. William O'Neal organized a Gov Club in his government classes in order to demonstrate democratic proceedings. Social problems originating with ways to make a living are offered for discussion and evaluation by Highland's Applied Economic students. Sociology also deals with economics but more important with the scientific investigation of man's behavior in society. Muscatatuck, a state institution for the mentally retarded, was visited by the psychology students of Mrs. Wanda Fredericks and Mr. O'Neal. Having studied the subiect, classic examples were observed in the in- stitution and will long be remembered. Psychology class was the scene of great discussion when hypnotic consultant Kent Griffth presented a demonstration of the effects of hypnosis.

In America one Tongue is understood by nearly everyone. By Traveling to other parts of th-e world, however, many different languages are encountered. lf we are to have good relations with other nations, we must understand Their languages. Highlanders have ven- tured into The world of foreign Tongues by studying Latin, French, and Spanish with earnest endeavor. Latin, considered The source of many modern lan- guages, is still studied although iT is rarely spoken. lt provides an excellent background for The study of other foreign languages as well as English. French proved To be quite enjoyable to Those in first and sec- ond year classes. Films gave the students an oppor- tunity to hear native Frenchmen speak, as did tape recordings. Spanish students became more aware of the vast numbers that speak this language and of the problems which face these people. For the first time the foreign language classes com- bined their efforts and held an international Dance March 6 at the King's Crown lnn. This harmonious af- fair brought about a closer relationship among the students in regard tothe various languages. , Latin Student Lee Baldwin ponders a passage of the Odyssey. I6
