We learn to leave them laughing or crying How would you like to be a cartographer or a namer of streets9 Just enroll in the SOCIAL SCI ENCE DEPARTMENT Beginning in your first year at AHS you enrolled In Orientation often wonder ing to what you would be oriented .lust this year a booklet titled Above All Others was compiled by the Social Science Department to inform you of the history of California Alhambra city AHS and dis tingulshed graduates This booklet should give stu dents the initiative to continue In the footsteps of the greats of AHS SPEECH ll tt to There s a but of the hlstrionlc in each of us the desire to be a ham . We like to show off to know that our talents are appreciated. Thus one of the busiest and most frustrating departments to be encountered on campus is the SPEECH DE PARTMENT Holding an invaluable place in every one s education, the principal oblective of this de- partment is to instill in us the art of speaking well at all times. The small objective, which is vital to basic communication, is often accompanied by hectic hours of rehearsing, meeting deadlines, and spending numerous hours with no apparent im- provement. But then the glow of satisfaction when it has been accomplished makes all the effort worth M IAL science qi fi vo gh i iz 1 E W d M t M W M M W With increased importance of world affairs in hopes of world peace AHS has become a clearing house of activities and competition materials that are useful to the student At the present time there are 1200 students enrolled in Social Science courses that are planned according to the emphasis placed by the State Social Studies Committee of California The Social Science office center of AHS life and traditions boasts of having more current maga zines than any other Social Science office in this area This same department took the lead in pro motmg the names of the streets on the East cam pus and publishing Above All Others Every year the Junior Statesmen are becoming more and more active participants in student body affairs as well as representing AHS at conven tions and supervising the counting of election bal o s W'o .A. ..M . while. After all high hopes often come true this is something to remember next time. In spite of handicaps such as the loss of the au- ditorium the progress and enthusiasm of the de- partment is not dimmed. The whole student body enloys the efforts made to present plays in our open-air theater. The traditional senior play, nights of one-act plays, and participation in speech tournaments all add up to the busy activities of the department. But if nothing else in the speech department impresses the Moor of AHS, he surely will not be able to forget that required Fundamen- tal Speech class with all those strange pairs of eyes looking at iust him. 27 O lf you would know history, make some as you go 0 a - il A ' A ' -as ,.
