U H HISTUHY IS B SED History is an account of past facts and events that affect the lives of all man- kind. From history we learn the motives of the actions taken by men and nations and the consequences of these actions. From history We learn the importance of government and trace the develop- ment of it from the earliest times. But the kind of history we are taught is different from the kind of history you teach, Herr Hitler. Our history is not filled with gross exaggerations, mislead- ing interpretations, and deceiving con- clusions. Uur history is not taught to spread propaganda or racial hate nor to prey on human emotions. Our history is based on fact, and is taught to give us a liberal education so that We can do a better job of governing than your black- shirted Stooges have done. UN PACT, UT U PHEJ DICE Perhaps the chief feature of our history classes is the open and unprejudiced Way in which discussions are conducted. With our teachers and textbooks as guides, we attempt to gain an accurate picture of the economic, political, and social progress of man throughout the ages. In our three high school history courses, ancient and medieval, modern, and American history, We trace the de- velopment of democracy from its early stages in ancient Greece, through its growth in England to its struggle for existence in modern times.

Composition consists of the study of gram- niar, punctuation, and usage of the English language, and practice in writing essays and short stories. Its purpose is to enable students to express their thoughts clearly and concisely in writing. In the study of English literature, students gain an appreciation of English and Amer! ican writings. Through this Contact with fine literature, the lifelong habit of reading good books is acquired. fl-.i f3f,W f fill M At the right Miss Hutchison, x Miss 0'Hara, and Miss Sutherland discuss a new English text.
