Mathematics and Histor Present A Challenge Although Mr. Bill seems to be trying very hard to explain this problem, loe Lawson appears to be at loss as to the solution. Karen Ostendor! points out one of Russia's satellite nations, Czechoslvalcia. United States history, world history, and social science keep Wabash High School students on their toes. There are many facts, dates, and names of famous people to be remembered. Current events is also a very important part of the history classes. For many students math is one of the most difficult subjects studied. General math, algebra, geometry, advanced algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry are the courses offered at Wabash High School. Each is an individual study in its own right and requires a great deal of concentration and attention. Page Fifteen

Speech, latin, S Speech has been beneficial to many students. It has given them confidence to speak before a group, cmd they have learned to write, organize, and present their speeches with poise and dignity. The Latin students learn how English words are derived. They also learn many interesting facts about Rome and Roman customs. This course is helpful, since it is easier for a Latin student to figure out the meaning of a word without continuous dictionary help. In Spanish class the students learn to write and to speak Spanish. They also learn about some of the Spanish customs. Each student is given a Spanish name and is recognized by it-this adds some spice to the class. Max Willce seems to be occupied in helping Mrs. Bird sound out a Latin phrase. The class appears to be interesled in the lesson. Mr. Hunsberger helps Dave Gray, lulie Walter, and Iohn Norris Write their names in Spanish. George Kilander demonstrates the portrayal of a forceful speech. penish Prnve Interesting
