FORM FRAMEWORK We are interested in the past because it helps us to explain and understand the pre- sent. Today ' s world is a result of man ' s ability or inability to live and learn to adjust to the diversity of places, situations, and events that exist around him. This study begins with World History, a comprehensive and concise review of all human history. American History takes one phase of world history and studies it in greater detail . Government students examine the Ameri- can democratic system, and in economics, the students study the American productive system as compared to other economic systems. The study of government and economics helps us to understand how our government is run, and creates better citizens. Mr. William Miller is going over the lesson with his world history class.

One semester of the English class is devoted to literature, while grammar is stressed in the second semes- ter. The study of literature helps us to under- stand ourselves and the world about us. Well known short stories are studied each year with American literature emphasized in the eleventh grade and English literature in the twelfth. Grammar, an important part of our educa- tion, in studied along with composition writing each year. Special courses are also offered to the stu- dents who desire more training in special fields. These courses include speech, dramatics, and journalism . Lillian Milos Alice Lillian Phillip Elsie Hamnik Karigan Kingery McAllister McLaughlin Waldron ten

MATH AND SCIENCE Physics experiments sometimes prove to be very interesting as this one on light seems to be. Calumet has an adequate Science Depart- ment which is important for turning out future scientists. Biology, the study of plants and animals, is offered in the first year. Those who want to acquire more knowledge of science can do so by taking chemistry. Here an emphasis is placed on a basic understanding of chemical science. Physics, the study of matter and energy, is available to the more ambitious students. This curriculum of science courses is complete enough to give the students a sufficient know- ledge of the subject. Mr. Ray Skamay looks on as Marsha Wrobleuski watches some tiny microbes through the microscope. Waiting her turn is Janette Ralph, another student.
