SOCIAL STUDIES GEOGRAPHY, PROBLEMS OF DEMOCRACY and two years of UNITED STATES HISTORY AND GOVERNMENT. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happi- ness is not only a famous expression. Our government lwe ourselvesl allows us to pur- sue happiness, its capture is not guaranteed. We must not rest on the laurels of the past alone, An able, watchful and forward-looking body of citizens is vital to this way of life. Of course it is easier to be followers, but we most need good leaders. The line, There goes the crowd, l must follow, for l'm their Ieader , should not result in a smug smile but rather in a challenged citizenry which both appreciates the past and endeavors to im- prove the future. Keep smiling! People will wonder what you're up to. . 2 1 Mr. George Selig American History and Civics B.A., Central Washington State College, Faculty: l year. bail- 'Fl 41' --nur' 'Q Mrs. Jean Lothrop Mr. Frank Pizziferri Modem l'l'ST0fY , Social Studies BA, Boston University: B.S., Boston University, Future Teachers of Ameri- Marsengold Advisor, Facul- Ca, Advisor, Faculty: 4 fyg 2 yegrg, years, His mistake was putting descartes before des horses - he couldn't see the handwriting on the wall, ,,,.,'? if ,x 'VJ 1 is

The words were then and now, aII men are born free and equal. This action expressed itself in the statistics of the first United States Census in l79O, only our State had no slaves to report.

MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT At the beginning, math may have been all Greek to the students at Sharon High School, but by the end of their courses, they were familiar with the Greek alphabet, from alpha C047 and beta C13 l, to pi C779 and theta QQJ, as well as the formulas and equations they are used in. The Mathematics department of Sharon High School prepares the student for future study or work through an excellently planned and more than adequate program consisting of a possible five years of basic and advanced mathematics. Starting with Elementary Alge- bra and Business Mathematics the courses range through intermediate Algebra to Calcu- lus and Analytic Geometry. Don't tell me I added wrong! It took me I5 minutes just to put this equation on the board! ' NVQ
