JR. CITIZENS ASK QUESTIONS Miss Friedrich encourages discussion in fresh¬ man social education class. What started the struggle between communism and democracy in the world? What nations make up the Far East? What is in the Constitution of the United States? How can we become better cit¬ izens? These are a few of the questions students encounter in the various social studies courses taught at A.H.S. These courses give students a knowledge of the world ' s history, and reveal to them how the differences in beliefs, opinions, and ways of life came about among the peoples of the earth. Dan Mahoney debates on current topic in U. S. history. Models of ways of life often help make social studies more vital to students. Pictured above Mrs. Nyland, Miss Crouter, Mrs. Gau¬ thier, Mr. Gunderson and Mr. Bryant look at a model made by a world history student. 19

Always interested in new equipment, the math and science teachers Mr. Reuter, Mr. Evans, Mr. Gross, Mr. Clark and Mrs. Jensen watch Mr. Scott demonstrate the cycloid generator. MATH, SCIENCE EMPHASIZED Since the launching of Sputnik, American schools have encouraged their students to study more math and science, and A.H.S. is one of these schools in which an increased number of students are taking ad¬ vanced courses in these fields. Having learned the basic funda¬ mentals of math and science in high school, Astoria students will have sufficient background to study them more widely and thoroughly in col¬ lege. Perhaps after graduation they will become some of the scientists or engineers which the United States needs so badly. Dan Mahoney and Gerald Dye make use of the modern lab equipment in working out a chemistry experiment. 18
