Now, Mr. Hanaway asks Susie Liebert, did you learn any- thing? Vigilance ls the Alert American students of today will help to make free American citizens of tomorrow. To completely fill this role, one must be ac- quainted with the attempts, achievements, and failures of his ancestors in order to preserve him- self and his nation and to pave the path for his descendants. Proiects portraying outstanding eras of World History are necessary to receive credit in that area. Various talents once industriously employed, produce Egyptian pyramids, Roman chariots, cos- tume dolls and a host of other obiects of interest. Term papers further allow the student to per- form research in a field particularly appealing to him. Vibrant sessions of current affairs to check the stuclent's powers of observation are a consistent part of U.S. History. And although 'the purposes, contents, and amendments of the Constitution are introduced in U.S. History, they are thoroughly discussed, diligently studied, and sufficiently med- itated upon in U.S. Government.

A Brand New World Bewildered, Confused, and Destitutef' These words describe the mood of many students as they enter into the world of science. For others the doors of the science department open into a new realm of enlightenment and fascination. Whether it be Biology, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Physics, or Semi-Micro Qualitative Anal- ysis, no science student can deny that a challenge is put before him. Biology, primarily for freshmen, is open to all high school students. It is a study of living things, including everything land anything! from the muscles of a frog to the genes of a human being. The advanced sciences, Chemistry, Physics, and Qual-Analysis, are reserved for iuniors and seniors who are working for an academic diploma with a science major. These three sciences involve seyeral hours per semester of independnt labora- tory work on the part of the student. With the growing importance of the sciences in our everyday lives, all these courses are being stressed more and more in high schools and each year brings an increase in the number of students under the influence of our science de- partment.
