These formative years shape and qual- ify us to become the leaders of tomorrow's America. Soon we will be making our con- tribution toward the history of our great coun- try. Some give the supreme sacrifice -- their lives, for their belief in democracy. Most of us will serve less conspicuously by paying taxes, voting and obeying the law. Blind pa- triotism is not the answerg informed citizenry is. Today the emphasis in social studies is not on style, but on accuracy of information and soundness of historian's judgement. At KHS, studies of the social sciences are made more interesting and tangible by the use of audio-visual equipment. Realistic treatment is applied even to the government of the United States. Instead of believing this gov- ernment is always right, policies are ques- tioned.

Unusual experiences occur in To be a Homo sapiens or not to be a Homo sapiens: that is the question. The answer, which lies in the number of chromosomes in the body cells, proves again the connection between mathematics and science. Delving into the magical world of figures, angles, and equations, Kingsford students gain a broad mathematical background ranging from General Math to Senior Math or Advanced Algebra, and including Alge- bra and Geometry. Complementing the math courses, Kingsford's Science Department presents the opportunity to study biological chemical and physical sciences. Students of physical science 'gain general knowledge of theearth and its make-up, while chemistry students study matters, energy, and the effects of their physical and chemical changes. General and Advanced Biol- ogy courses include material covering the study of life from the unicellular amoeba and lower plants, to the multi-cellular human. A wonder- ful new field, that of botany, is now wide open through the addition of the botanical growing room. Physics introduces the natural laws govern ing the environments of these forms of life.
