No tour can be complete without the expert assistance of an informed guide. These are the people who show us the best path to choose from many, or where to find a path where there seem to be none. They help us to observe things along the way that we might have overlooked, and to know the importance of the things that we do observe. mm:- -nnq unusual 5 '10 1 Me+wl!- 'li 5 s,i rt .

This semester, the Flight Log crew has chosen world travel as its theme. Would our pro- gram of studies at Airport in any way prepare you for world travel? Let's see. Our basic program of study requires you to take Social Studies, English, Math, Science, Physi- cal Education, and Shop or Homemaking. Certain- ly there is no better way of learning about our foreign neighbors and their countries than through our Social Studies classes. Each semester covers something new. English is our language. It has its roots in many of our foreign languages. Of neces- sity, one must refer to foreign languages when studying our own. The fields of math and science have produced some of the most well known names in history. Most of these great men and women came from foreign countries. We owe much of what we learn' in Physical Education, Homemaking, and our Shops to foreign influ- ence and foreign discovery. Through our elective program we offer a wide opportunity to learn about foreign lands. Three electives which come to my mind particularly are General Language, Spanish, and Folk Dancing. We should feel particularly proud that right within the confines of one school we can learn so much about the world around us.
