EMDR GAS HRIALME DEMIS BREADS Hil, of Richmond M.A., Sen- ior Y-Teens. Are you looking at the world through rose-colored glasses? If you had Mr McKenney for American history last year, chances are that situation is remedied somewhat by now. Very important in a knowledge of American history, Mr. McKenney believes, is the ability to express ideas clearly and thought- fully. He encourages his students to view the world situation realistically with an eye toward individualism and responsibility toward their national government. Students may choose from many course offerings in the field of social studies. Included are eighth grade history, a review of social studies learned in the lower grades; world geography, where the student learns of the world around him; and world history, a comprehensive study of man from primeval times to the present day. United States history is designed to give the student a knowledge of political, social, and economic condi- tions in our country from its beginning until the present time. In government classes, students receive a comprehensive knowl- edge of American government through the years. Mr. McKENNEY directing hungry students in the cafeteria.

This, of course, issues from the typing rooms, just one division of Huguenot’s business department. The other sections, perhaps not so noisy but equally important, include bookkeeping, shorthand, and general business classes. Throughout the year business students work on projects which increase their efficiency and prepare them for careers related to the business world. Stu- dents also may further their interest by participating in class field trips to various business firms and through projects in the Future Business Leaders of America. MRS.

Ea ch home economics class has units in child care, care of the home, clothing selection, home nursing, and, of course, sewing and cooking. Senior girls and third year students have in the past year placed empha- sis on preparation for marriage and the future. Third year girls have learned to make draperies and slipcovers. Most students who have taken high school home economics courses have found that they would like to specialize in a related career, or that they have developed a great deal of interest in sewing, cooking, and homemaking.
