What great events in science will take place? None of these ques- tions has full answers as yet, but since history repeats itself, the SHS history department gives a clue to the future. In courses ranging from ancient history to international relations, Short- ridgers study about the world, past and present. Government and problems students in a spe- cial class comprehensively review history for college board examinations, while other double period classes visit industries for practical knowl- edge. itt, Miss lli-len l r:1z1-1- pf-rley, Mrs. lxllllilivl str-in, lCulw1't Nippon' Ixulhrvn Smith. llnrn N1 l15', Roy Aliersun. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT English, our language, is an essential part of every Shortridger's curriculum. From English I to VI, we learn the basic concepts of our language. Journalism I and II offer opportunities for fledgling reporters to try out their wings, while journalistic correspondence helps more advanced newsmen write for city papers. English VII and VIII supply the whole pano- rama of English literature. Senior English, Com- position I, and Advanced Comp, a college prepa- ratory course, are given to seniors. Dramatics, public speaking, and radio speech teach the Shortridger to express his language eifectively. HISTORY FACULTY- Ilow 1: Miss LJUl'1HilY letf-rsnn.

Shortridge students learn to speak these languages in the classroom. Although Latin is no longer a spoken language, its influences are widely felt since it is back- ground for French, Spanish, and English. Latin students receive an excellent vocabulary and a good English foundation. Greek, not offered by many schools, is given to advanced Latin students. Latin and Greek derivatives, a word study course, is offered to juniors and seniors. Nl X1'll I-'Xl'l'l.'l'YfI'luu l Xl: I lmim.

Here, the future engineers, astrono- mers, physicists, chemists, and mathematicians of tomorrow get basic training in courses ranging from 9B arithmetic to solid geometry, college algebra, analytical geometry, and trigonometry. Shortridge mathematics students apply their knowledge to win coveted places in the state math contests and to acquire top scores on schol- arship tests and college board examinations. Above all, math courses teach students how to reason logically.
