My report today is on the history of the American theater. HISTORY IS PHILOSOPHY TEACHING BY EXAMPLES. Biolinbroke It is said that history repeats itself. Whether or not this is true, it is an established fact that one can profit greatly in his endeavors if he has a know- ledge of what others have done in the past. The study of the history of our country and of the world carries this benefit. Establishing a strong foundation with their ex- planation of the precepts and operation of varidus forms of government, World Culture and Civics introduce the freshman student to his first real adventures in social studies. In later years, World History examines the growth and development of man and his nations. The rise, struggle, and fall of the world's great nations are vividly depicted for the student, giving him a frame of reference for his required two years of American History. These present America's struggles for independence and its rise from thirteen colonies to a large, power- ful nation. Sociology and Economic Geography bring his- tory and government down to the level of the stu- dent's personal knowledge. Through his study of sociology, the student is more aware of society's problems and is better able to deal with them. Economic Geography explains the reasons and prob- lems of an economic state, making the production, distribution, and sale of its goods more meaningful. Class, you can do your character studies on anyone but me.

I guess I'd better call it Arnott's theorem. MA THEMA TICS POSSESSES NOT ONLY TRUTH, BUT SUPREME BEAUTY . . . Russell The operation, symbols and characters of math are common to all men, and, as the expression of technical ideas, they form the universal language of the world. The study of math at Palmyra encompasses a wide field. Regardless of the area the student chooses to explore, the background he receives affords him a broad understanding of many useful mathematical operations. The transactions of our daily lives demand a comprehension of mathematical concepts. General Math I and II, Business Math, and Bookkeeping pro- vide the foundation for conducting these exchanges. More technical, but less concrete in nature, are the courses offered to the students who wish to expand their use of math beyond its everyday appli- cation. Algebra I, and its modern math section for the first year student, acquaints him with the funda- mentals of this odd symbolic arithmetic and pre- pares him for the complex processes of Algebra II and III. Angles, lines, planes, and their relationships are explained in Geometry, while Trigonometry, the algebraic expression of Geometry, combines the principles of both of these subjects. Solid Geometry or Solid, as it is commonly called, fills out the mathematical picture at P.H.S. by adding another dimension to the length and breadth of our math courses. HI don't know.
