Not jive-merely Spanish :,,. F Q . gi H , - s. . f-wif? 1. Y is ,S Perfect audience l?i LANGUAGE Whether you imagine yourself as a Maid of Spain, a Matador, a Roman Senator, or a Joan of Arc, you will find an atmospherein the lan- guage classes that will greatly enhance the art of the language -itself. Daily you can hear stu- dents struggling over Caesar or exclaiming over the beauty of a French play, as our Tower of Babble engulfs the school. The value of know- ing other languages is fully acknowledged by those who have studied them. They find that it not only gives them a broader view of other people and their customs, but it greatly helps them understand the English language. The linguistic teachers are Miss Mary Archibald, who teaches Latin, and Miss Florence Sullivan, who teaches French and Spanish. Page 6 ENGLISH The English teachers, Misses Hood, Lewis, McElroy, Florence Sullivan, and Mr. Powers in- struct in one of the largest branches of the school curriculum. Each student, during his high school days, must have at least two and a half years of English, however, the opportunity for enrolling in numerous elective courses is great and is taken up by a large number of pupils. An account ofthe English department would not be complete with- out mentioning the loss of Mr. Abrums, now in the armed service. Although he won the admir- ation of all, Miss McElroy is to be well com- mended tor filling his vacancy. Without the English courses, surely we would all be without the knowledge so necessary to exercise our demo- cratic rights-freedom of speech! i X gf T iii I S

From simple business mathematics to the complicated problems of intermediate algebra, solid geometry, and trigonometry, each pupil strives to further his perception of this study. Each student learns with pleasure the new facts which are being taught. ln addition, he learns much about the processes by which effective thinking is done. Many students show genuine progress in the development of a critical attitude toward what they read or hear. Here, mathematics has proved its worth not only as a text-book subject, but it has illuminated students' understanding of the meaning and utility of the subiect. I Shall we get technical? SCIENCE Casps, as of torment, are familiar sounds to one's ears as he passes the chemistry laboratory. As one goes closer, an odor, which can only be attributed to a science class, can easily be de- tected. Thus have the chemistry classes attained their notoriety. But much is given in the science department which brings pleasure to science students. Physiology, biology, general science, and the required senior science are all courses which allure even the younger set, Only under the excellent guidance of the science teachers, Mr. Wagner, Mr. Richert, filling Dr. Bowling's position, and Mr. Schlupp, is the science depart- ment able to gaze into the marvels of today, and erase the daze which clouds the minds of the questioning ones. ln EHS science is progressing to new highlights worthy of distinction.

Take a letter, Miss Jones COMMERCIAL Hundreds are aware of the opportunities await- ing them outside the classes of EHS in the busi- ness world of today. Preparation for this work must be done in a manner that will bring satis- factory results in actual work. Through the classes in typing, shorthand, and general office practice, each student has opportunity to become expert in the class of his choice. Each student is able to advance under the helpful direction of Miss Robinson, Miss Gustafson, and Mr. Horner. Lecture today-test tomorrow SOCIAL SCIENCE Today, because of world situations, it is even more important that we learn to live intelligently with our fellowmen and companions. The social science courses, American Problems, Modern America, Sociology, World Problems, Orientation, and Psychology, provide us with the opportunity to learn the values of true Americanism. The teachers, each fully capable of justifying his posi- tion as teacher of these courses, are: Mr. Brooks, American Problems and Orientation, Mr. David- son, Modern America, and Mr. Hackman, World Problems. The purpose of these courses, all of which are prerequisites of graduation, is not only to acquaint us with the knowledge of how to pre- pare a dinner with a can-opener, but how to hold a job of advancement with respect and civility toward fellow-beings.
