To Live A More Perfect Life Tomorrow Egil Hovey Bruce Johnson Social Studies 12 World History 10 Guidance Track B Football Lettermen's Club Ends of the semesters came all too fast for social studies students. At the end of each nine-Week period, scribbled notes and vocabulary words had to be de- ciphered and compiled into notebooks, which were very useful in studying for tests. Dating, married life, income tax papers, the consti- tution, economics and offices and employees of the government were a few of the interesting topics studied in social classes required of seniors. Democracy was put into action in the classrooms by panel and class discussions. Taking a trip to the State School for the Mentally Retarded in Faribault proved to be one of the highlights of the year. Elsie Sebert Modern History U. S.

World history, a sophomore subject, presents the progress of every nation, its people and their cultures. Prehistoric man, the Classical Age, the Middle Ages, the Crusades and the Renaissance were a few of the topics studied the first year in senior high. The juniors also studied maps of geography and the purchases and annexations of the United States. By the end of the year the students had a brief and undetailed account of years of history, which would be helpful in college and future studies. 'AMEANS OF WAR certainly have changed, remarked American history student Donna Rusley as she and Terry Fahley examine Japanese World War II weapons. THE CRADLE OF CIVILIZATION,,, Asia,s Fertile Crescent, was pointed out by Judy Ness for Tom Counters. Page 18

The need for additional equipment and rooms has been emphasized by the need for scientific knowledge in today's World of satellites and atomic power. Most sophomores took biology, a study of plant and animal life. Filled with stuffed animals, aquariums, skeletons, plants and detailed charts, the biology rooms proved a fascinating place to even the novice. Chemistry students observed chemical reactions through laboratory experiments. Records of their ob- servations were recorded in lab manuals which were made to serve as a guide for future studying. Demonstrations pertaining to various units were performed in physics so as to know the subject better. Physics students studied matter, motion and energy. General physics laws pertaining to the study of matter and energy, sound, light, machines and electricity were studied and learned during the year.
