,- AMERICAN HISTORY STUDENTS find news magazines RONNIE EZELL LEADS the daily discussion about the world's affairs helpful in the r discussions of current events in today's manifold crises in Mrs. Cary's P.O.D. class. Soclal Studles Stresses Current Events Dates, maps, Senior Scholastic, World Week, Masters of Deceit-these are tools a social studies student uses to understand the world today. Why are social studies necessary? It's a worn phrase, but history does repeat itself. The student studying democracy will be a knowl- edgeable voter tomorrow. With the shadow of Com- munism hanging over our land today, we cannot afford to be ignorant of the purposes and methods of this enemy. As a minister recently said, Our generation will either be the best generation the world has ever seen, or it will be the last generation the world will see. MRS.

Math is more than the tool of the scientist. The study of mathematics-of definitions built, one on top of the other, from a group of undefined terms, of formulas de- rived by reasoning from definitions and other formulas, of proofs logically constructed from definitions, formulas, and theorems already proved-is most valuable, as a tool for thought for ct person vvho will never see the inside of a laboratory. The mathematics department not only prepares students for the walks of life that require a knowledge of math but also for occupations requiring keen logic, accuracy, and careful work. As the world in which we live becomes more complicated, the study of mathematics becomes more valuable. WITH MRS. SMITH'S help, Jerry Humphries, a trig student, learns to use a slide rule.
