History - efzafzl can-cf eamyzcau of Nwlioual gnleaaalz The social sciences seek to guide the active citizens of tomorrow in making our nation strong and great. History, a colorful pageant of the ages, presents an intimate picture of the achievements of mankind which have fashioned our present civilization. Civics, Economics and Problems of Democracy seek to prepare the student for an active part in our government through a better under- standing of its problems. By studying geography, the junior high school pupil becomes thoroughly acquainted with this broad country and its position, geo- graphically and commercially, with foreign lands. Ellen Boynton-B.S.

Physical Fitness - 0414 quail .fine of fbefende To train the body as well as the mind is an essential step in preparing our future citizens. The boys have a full and varied athletic program which ably combines gym and water Work. The girls' program, which is less strenuous though fully as extensive, also includes pool and gym periods. Hygiene classes are offered to those who cannot participate in the regular physical education program. In the Spring, school physicians make a thorough examination of every student, and a registered nurse is always ready to remedy minor accidents of busy school life. Healthy bodies are our first line of defense. Anna M. Quirk-A.B. George Washington University. World Historyg Business English. Isabel Sourwine-A.B. Goucher. World History.
