D . vvfed K Ld 4244, Keeping abreast of chariging times Our world of constant political upheaval and changing social conditions makes it necessary, now more than ever, for us to have a good understanding of our environment. The expert social studies department at our school helps us to gain knowledge of current affairs as well as giving the background for the understanding of our environment. As Freshmen, we learned numerous facts about our town and state. Many enrolled in Modern History or Problems of Democracy courses in their sophomore, iunior, and senior years. In these sub- iects we learned of the current events of the time, their relation to us, and how we could better the world as good citizens. United States History, a required subject for all, taught us how our nation developed and progressed and about its present status in the changing times of our world. The social studies department has helped the students of our school to be well informed about the past, present, and most im- portant, the future. 20 . ei The For East comes near

Books for learning and leisure agozines for information and pleasure ore found in the library. Books, books, and more books - that's our library. Be it one on ancient Greece, an atomic submarine, modern art, the latest Saturday Review or a Marquand novel, or even a current issue of a newspaper in a foreign language, it's in our library where Mrs. Walsh and her able library assistants so willingly help us locate what we want. We learned from Mrs. Walsh the mysteries of the Dewey decimal system, the use of the card catalogue, and the rules of the library. Thus instructed on how to find any type of books or periodical, we learned not only how to use the school library but any public library as a means of enriching our- leisure time and increasing our knowledge. ...4 ...ff- Interesting and clever displays are seen in the library.
