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.

Future Scientists Probe Way into Unknown “Now, friends, I realize that any resemblance of this class to a chemistry class is purely coincidental, but...” says Mr. McNeer to his chemistry students, and a wave of laughter passes through the classroom. Nevertheless, students find that all is not amusing when test time comes around. Through the year, however, they find their broadening knowledge of chemistry rewarding, and an interest in this, another of the fields of science, awakening. Science is becoming more important as a high school sub- ject and as a career; therefore, it is a subject stressed at Huguenot. When a student first enters high school, he takes eighth grade general science, in the ninth grade he may take either ninth grade science, or biology, the study of the forms and functions of living things. Tenth grade students are offered either biology or chemistry, the study of the composition of materials and the changes which they may undergo. Eleventh-graders may study either chemistry or physics, where they learn of mechanics, light, heat, sound, electricity, and magnetism. Twelfth-graders may take either chemistry, physics, or advanced. science. The science department endeavors to present to each stu- dent a knowledge, an awareness, and an understanding of the world about him — of the materials of which it 1s com- posed, of the living things around him, and of man’s dis- coveries and inventions which help to make his world a bet- ter place in which to live.
