,Mdfwy SOITLE5 30 In a democracy all citizens and future citizens play an important part in making the country's history. At least they should ideally. Students in Mr. Martin's classes in U.S. History are made sharply aware of this. Stressed particularly in that connection is the role each of them can play in giving direction to our nation's ever-changing development. Thus to students in these classes history is transformed 'from mere words in cold print to something close to home. It takes on new meaning and new dimensions. It takes ,on the breath of life. It becomes vital and dynamic, and of direct, vivid, and intimate concern to the boys and girls involved. The attitude generated in l'vIr. Martin's classes is discernible in the faces and posture of the students in the adjoining photography. igltyaica ecjuired Wuckg gall do QUE UGA Physics is an exacting subject. It requires continuous and close attention on the part of those studying the science. Perfect precision is essential. For the self-discipline all this entails there is, however, ample reward. First there is ,the gratifying sense of accomplishment which results from vic- toriously carrying through something mighty difficult. Secondly, there is the escalation in mental growth and self- confidence that is a significant by-product of having met the challenge entailed. There is in the study of physics also an opportunity for creative accomplishment. An enthusiastic teacher such as Mr. C. Smith conveys a genuine appreciation of the creative potentialities in this field to his students. A dawn- ing realization of the scope of these potentialities is some- how suggested by the action photo of the group of budding scientists on this page. 2xmass-wwwxsmmwfxsbwfi?'11sY .sis sq svsusx we :si wsu -is is-as '

angfudgfe .96 we lUadCLL!6ll .S?dtel0'l You'll be speaking and reading your whole life. In your work, in social relations, in community activities, in your home -everywhere and always you'll be using the English language. How effectively you use it, in spoken and written form, will be a determining factor in how much you earn, the impression you make socially, how well you do in college, what kind of husband or wife you get, the upbringing and development of your children when, in due time, you become a parent. No one appreciates this more than does Mrs. Miller, head of our English Department. And she has inspired the bright young people of her English I Honors Class, here shown in session, with the inestimable value of acquiring and cultivating top proficiency in the use of our language. She has done much also to stimulate among them a lively interest in worthwhile literature.

Not only does our spacious well-arranged library make available to our students and faculty good books on a 'wide variety of subjects. It also has ready for use in the library itself, as well as for taking out to classrooms film strips, movie projectors, recordings and record players, tape re- corders, and other audio-visual educational aids. A wide array of books, notably standard reference works, are mainly reserved for use in the library itself. Thousands of others, on many subjects, may be borrowed by students or teachers, to be read elsewhere in the school, or at home. ' Qui' OZQLPGPQ .911 60ll,l'liLd:i way'
