To- day, more than ever before, there is a need for under- standing among all peoples oi the world. Through the study of one or more foreign languages a student helps eliminate the barrier that still separates neighbors in a rapidly shrinking World. Available at Hughes are Latin, Spanish, French, and German, each with its own unfold- ing of the customs and cultures around the globe. ln addition, our own heritage has been modified by the varied national backgrounds of our ancestors. Under- standing these backgrounds helps us to understand our- selves even rnore.

The Social Studies help us trace the rise and fall of civilizations so that our own venture into the world will be taken with an understanding of the pattern ot progress. World History, American History, Economics, Sociology, American Problems, and Geography teach us man's relationship to his fellownien and to his en- Social Studies vironment. The existence of our own way ot lite is de- pendent upon a citizenry willing to profit by the les- sons oi the distant and immediate past. ii 1 zizin Z s ii.s ir. Lniys D D l,.

The world of today is a highly tech- nical world: the world of tomorrow promises to be even more complicat- ed. With each day mathematics be- comes rnore essential to all of us. At Hughes a student may follow a tour- year course in mathematics, from Al- gebra, through Plane Geometry and Math Ill, to Math IV. This year an ac- celerated course for outstanding stu- dents has been added to the curricu- lum, Also offered are courses in Gen' eral Mathematics, Business Math and Consumers' Math, all recognizing the fact that a knowledge of figures and basic computations is a necessity in our civilization. Those of us who have reached the edge of the unknown un- derstand that mathematics is the light that will roll back the cold darkness of the space into which we venture.
