TH Ei seg HIVEI f f 'f f U STUDENTS ENJOY LEARNING AMERICAN! HISTORY By Edith Russell President Harry S. Truman, General Ike Eisenhower, Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, George Washington, General Douglas MacArthur are only cm few of the many Americans about whom Mr. Albert Jones' fifth period history class have been studying. Lively discussions about'Americans make them easily recognizable to the students of the class. These and many other names now slip familiarly from their tongues. Since the beginning of the year twensty-five boys and girls have been learning more about America from the time it was discovered by Columbus until the present day. A very decided help in these studies is the history work- book which contains questions on the different units. Between the students and the teacher there exists a spirit of cooperation and friendliness which has perhaps contributed much to make the study a more interesting and informative one. Lartely, it seems the class has been working extra hard. This is because term reports are due. The subject of these reports is chosen by the student from a variety of interesting personalities and phases of American life and customs. These reports range in variety from the colonists on down to President Truman and present day happenings and are six -to twelve pages long. To learn more about America and its people, there could not be a more informative source than American history. F L O W E R S The Bee Hive extends thanks to E. A. Farley, Florist, and Mrs. I Stenger. Farley representative, for the stage decorations used on graduation night. They were furnished the school free of charge. The roses carried by the girls and the bouionnieres worn by the the boys were purchased from E. A. Farley. 11168
