We will always remember the delight¬ ful trips up the Rhine, as we sat in our German classes. Miss Ruth Severance has made German an interesting and mem¬ orable experience for all her students. Here again, the demand for German will find Chelsea High students well trained in German custom and culture to meet the challenge. Thus we thank the entire language de¬ partment for years of excellent training and pleasant hours. (

j In the years to come, we will all remember pleasant hours in our 1 foreign language classes. We can look back on the excellent prepar¬ ation in those classes with sincere gratitude. Under the supervision of Miss Frances Connolly, the department has been acclaimed as one of the best of its kind and is the pride of Chelsea Senior High School. Nous voici a Paris! As French students in Miss Connolly ' s classes, we shall recall happy jaunts through the streets of Paris and its en¬ virons. The beauty of this language shall enrich our everyday activities. O tempore! O more! Everyone shall remember those delightful hours spent in the Latin classes of Miss Ella M. Deasy. Latin, the lan¬ guage of the ancients, gives its students a better understanding of English and also aids in technical work. The fine preparation afforded in these classes gives unlimited opportunities for which we are all grateful. El Espanol, the language of gay Spain and Mexico, takes the students of Miss McKenna and Miss Spring on long journeys through the lands of the Spaniards and Latin Americans. The ever increasing demand for Spanish interpreters places Chelsea High students, with their excellent training, in a position for fine vocational opportunities. This training and enjoyment afforded by the Spanish course will be a clear memory for all who have participated. Miss Frances Connoly — Department Head. Maintenant, S ' il vous plait. The Virgil class — Mirabile dictu!!

Social Studc tes Social studies classes have a vital im¬ portance in the school curriculum in Chel¬ sea High. They lead the students into intelligent thinking about our country and its government. As the students study the policies of a democratic nation, they be¬ come familiar with the problems involved in running the government. By studying these problems which face a democratic nation, the students are more fully pre¬ pared for later life, when they must take their places as mature citizens. World History, to give a better under¬ standing of present world conditions, deals with the study of the civilzation of the world, its customs, and its people. This course is taught by Mr. Berenson, Miss Spring, and Mr. Donahue. United States History teaches the pupils the background of American people and the practice of democracy in every day life. These classes are under the capable leadership of Mr. Berenson, Mr. Green, Mr. Leader, and Miss Stearns. Interesting, Danny? Geography, which deals with the study of the world, concerning the physical con¬ dition, and the inhabitants, is directed by Mr. Donahue. Mr. Leader and Mr. Thompson deal with the political, economic, and social affairs of a city, state, and nation, under These are the times that try men ' s souls.
