M THE TIC P Since math is exceedingly useful in everyday life. Crane students are required to take two years of this subject. This course of Algebra 1 and 2. and Geometry l and 2. provides the students with a subsequent amount of reasoning so that when he leaves here, the world outside will not seein a total blank to him. He is not. however. required to continue this course after two years. The students who wish to proceed to college are offered advanced courses in Math. such as: Algebra 3. Geometry 3. Trigonometry. and last but not least. College Math. When the student completes these successfully. hc may rest assured that his college career will not be as strenuous as hc at first figured. Crane proudly boasts as having some of the finest Math teachers in the City. and not many students are allowed to unconscientiously stray off the subject. therefore they Hman' Au.:-:N JEAN BARILEAUX Rtrn Bmtwm Atmo BICKNL-:tt KARIN BJURKIAENID l t.ox'n BROWN RAYMOND llu'rt.r:lt TIIERUN CHANEY EGLIH I An extensive vocabulary. and a fiuent manner of speech are traits much sought after by the English Department along with a knowledge of our literature. In order to bring out the student's knowledge of this. the grammatical matter is delved into for the first ten weeks. which is followed by an introduction to the classics. and to the writer and style of our day. The two main divisions of English. which are Prose and Poetry are the main discussion points in the course. This seemingly dry and cumbersome matter is dealt with in a pleas- ing and entertaining manner. 12 all come through with Hying colors.

0Cl L ST DIE I We arc growing up in this age of opportunity and responsi- bility. ln a few years. the older generation will have passed on. leaving to us thc duty of carrying on the American Tradi- tion of a free democracy. of preserving our ideals. and remedy- ing our faults. We cannot possibly hope to fulfill these duties without a complete knowledge of our present instittltions and the under- standing of how tl-ey have come to be what they are. Only by thc means of social studies will you be furnished with the story of the precious inheritance you have received from the builders of our nation. Only by this method can one be provided with the background necessary for the wise preservation and improvcntcnt of his heritage. flrzoluciz fltmmrza IVHANK tiunris tIr:1:tl,lA tftr'l'm Grioaot-1 Davis JonN Ili-:l.ANm' REGINA Devim: firmer: thu fIu.uu.es Dunn JOHN Esrosno PAUL Femuzu.

These include German. Italian, Latin. and Spanish. It is required that the student have at least four semesters in one field of language. In order to study a nation's behavior. we must study its habits and language. Unless we do this we will not find ourselves fully prepared to meet the challenge offered by the strife and unrest which is so prevalent in the world today. f In order to fully comprehend many personal situations in our dealings of the future in business. science or politics, it is imperative that one possess fine linguistic ability. 13
