In Our English department students are encouraged to learn correct grammar, to enlarge their vocabularies, to appre- ciate the writings of others, to spell correctly, and to try creative writing of their own. By offering four years Of English With 8.11 that it includes, we hope to have enough Opportunities for each student to learn better communi- cation and to get an understanding of the language we speak. PEIIC 1 French, one Of the Romance languages, eveloped from Latin. It is so widely spoken it ranks with English as an interd national language. About half Of Our Eng- lish words come from French. French is the only foreign language that is Offered at Bells High School. First and second year courses are offered and are open to all high school students desiring to enter college. It is often said that history repeats it- self. The social studies departmenf re veals the past to help students understand the present and prepare for the future; There are three phases of this depart- mentdd United States History, world his- tory, and government. All of these give the student appreciation of our heritage, knowledge ofour governmental principles , and interest in current events.

Amidst Bunsen burners and test tubes, scales and gauges, dead worms, frogs and pigs, plas- tic models of the human body and charts .. stu- dents at Bells find excitement and adventure in seeing heretofore mysteries revealed to them in the Classroom and lab. General Science, biology, chemistry, and physics give students the foundation necessary to help prepare them for the Atomic Age. Through this department some students may be- come interested in making a career in Science. Each year, students pore over textbooks in an effort to solve the enigma of Mathematics. Many succeed; some fail; all try. This year at Bells three applications of this subject are taught--a1gebra, general math, and geometry. These give practical knowledge in preparing the student for every day problems. The math departmentis equipping college bound students With a thorough background andabird's eye View of college mathematical Subjects. Commerciaf The subjects taught in our Commercial Department-- bookkeeping, typing, and shorthand are 'TBread and Butter Sub- jects because they prepare students for profitable employment.

Along with their class work they have guided home experiences which they do at home. They are learning today to build better homes tomorrow. .jilome conomicd jgricwffure Our course in Vocational Agricultureoffers extensive training in agriculture.

This night closed four years of un- forgettable experiences. While there were Some who hated to leave the walls of B. H. 3., others were eager to look ahead. They will look back with sadness in the years to come remembering those happy four years. As freshmen, they found that high school was new and exciting. They were scared but happy. As sophomores, they became more confident and began to join Clubs and 26 other activities and sports. The most exciting year, perhaps, was their junior year. Joined by stu- dents from Ehrhardt, they sold mag azines, Sponsored the Harvest Car- nival, decorated for and presented a Hawaiian Junior-Senior. Now, as this year came to a close, some of their eagerness to finish high school faded away. Receiving rings, measuring for caps and gowns, Class Day w- activities they looked forward to With great anticipation are finished. But memories Of their high school days made the class of'62 a little re- luctant to bid goodbye to Bells High School.
