The two of them keep the familyls conversation up to date, and if Juniofs strategy rivals Dadls it is due to his Social Studies classes at Schurz. Here, he learns of other wars and 0f the geography of the worlds battle fields. His interest in todays news is also stimulated in class, for Current Events is an important study for the fellows and girls who will be making tomorrow's news. Miss Wincherls History VI and Civics classes made use of the study and became contenders in the National Current Events Contest Which is sponsored by the American Education Press, publishers of 'iOur Times? Schurz has been very proud of its winners and their success in these Contests, for our students compete against the very best from high schools all over the country.
