Arfisfic world hisfory maps are shown by Jane? Simensli and Pam Russell. Seeing Abe Lincoln In Illinois, and building models of Roman columns, Eagles were sure of an interesting year in the field of social studies. United States and World History, in which we drew maps extensively, gave students a more thorough understanding of the things that have helped to make our nation great. Eagles could be heard wearily quoting the preamble to the Constitution on the way to their class in Problems in American Democracy. One of the most interesting proj- ects of the year was the breaking down of the Consti- tution, and making a thorough study from the first article to the very last amendment. Psychology-Sociology classes watched The Three Faces of Eve, gave panel discussions, were lectured by an authentic beatnik, and wrote detailed themes. Combined, they made up all the well-rounded social studies courses offered at Edgewater High School.

Working separately or in groups, the German I or Il students concentrate diligently on 'Phe nexf assignmenr required for the correspondence course. Languages Prepare for International Communication Communication This is the key to understanding among all nations. Through translations and conversa- tions in each of the language classes, EHS students pre- pared for a medium of thought exchange between people of other nationalities and themselves. Those with dreams of someday visiting Paris enrolled in French I or advanced into second year French. Attempting to comprehend Spanish I or correct grammar in Spanish II, others listened attentively to recordings for improving pronunciation and Varying class activities, siudenfs in French II sing the French national anthem, La Marseillaise, under the capable direction of Mr. Wampler voice inflection. Another set of students quietly met to- gether for individual study of vocabulary and grammar in a correspondence course of German I and II. Porto, portas, portat-I carry, you carry, he carries were familiar Words recited by Latin I students learning various conjugations of verbs and declensions of nouns. Extra credit reports and translations of Caesar, Virgil, or Homer in all four years of Latin helped prepare a back- ground for easily learning roots of the English vocabulary. Represeniing the Roman people and iheir cusioms, Bonnie Jo Runner, Wendy Draper, Miriam Quimby gef together at Latin Club banquel.

3D figures help Sara Jane Evans and Stuart Hall solve a geometry problem. Proving parallelograms, Mrs. Holbrook illustrates wirh a movable figure. Math, math, and more math! Confused algebra I students pondered over equations such as 3-x-4 yet within only a few moments were confronted with 3-x:2. Already having mas- tered problems such as these, algebra II minds digested expon- ents, logarithems, and imaginary numbers. For students particu- larly interested in algebra, a more thorough study of this branch of mathematics challenged the advanced Algebra III class. Tangents drove plane geometry students in circles as they struggled to remember the correct theorems, axioms, or pos- tulates correctly' applying to each exercise. Some probably dis- covered for the first time that ninety degree angles are always right angles-never left. Many mathematically inclined students with slide rules, formulas, and figures constructed in third dimension passed solid-trigonometry hoping someday to enter the beckoning Held of engineering.
