ociaf .guchea . . . b Democracy, as a form of living and thinking, cannot long exist Without the training of youth to appreciate and understand the full meaning of the Word. Democ- racy comes as a natural instinct but must be developed and cultivated to a pitch where it consciously enters into our daily habits and governs our rules of conduct. No better Way can be found by which to instill the feeling than by presenting and examining the history and principles of the greatest democratic nation on earth, the United States. The foundation of our govern- ment presents the groundwork for more advanced political reasoning. The student seeking to enter politics should derive full benefit of these subjects as if he were taking the course out of civic duty. Required for graduation are two semesters of United States History and one of Civics with Modern European History and Careers as electives.

flggd DEPARTMENT Q The ability to speak English fluently is extremely important to every one not intending to be a hermit. One must be able to make one's self understood and to express one's thoughts clearly. This ability does not come haphazardly, but must be instilled through training. Hence, the English department. Grammatical matter occupies only ten weeks of the semester, while other ten Weeks are devoted to literature. Students are introduced to the classic works and also the works of our contemporary writers. Also the history of our literature is delved into. These studies give out much knowledge of practically every phase of English and a very rich background helpful in any field. Of course all work and no play makes Ioey Cranite a dull boy. So what could be more relaxing than to curl up with some good book and while away the hours. Poetry. is a medium through which the soul is reached by the beauty of every day things, and one must learn to appreciate it. This difficult subject is dealt with by our teachers in a pleasing and entertain- ing manner. Required for graduation are six semesters of English. English seven, which is devoted to American litera- ture, is optional. Miss Ruth Corrigan is the hard Work- ing department head. 11156 Ah Yes! There's Good News Today.

oreign anguagea . . . Q In such a time as ours, when nations are striving to attain unity, linguistic talent rates high in efforts towards universal good will. As international trade is resumed, persons who speak foreign languages fluently will be in demand to draft foreign trade agreements and create lasting busi- ness friendships. Boys planning to enter college will also ,find a foreign language extremely helpful, as will those desiring activity in the various professions. In fact, with travelling time so greatly shortened by modern inventions, anyone who hopes to travel at one time or another will greatly benefit from the knowl- edge of a foreign tongue. To prepare Craneites for the future, the foreign lan- guage department, under the capable guidance of Mr. Craig, offers a two year course with a choice of one of five languages-French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Latin. With regard to the aforementioned, a student is well rewarded for his time and effort.
