Quay Smith, Niiss Nancy VVagner, Harvey Grilhn, and Mrs. Naomi Kindle meet frequently to discuss maps, new textbooks, and better methods of research. Math, Science, Social Studies, leach logic And Reason Learning about other people of past and present cen- turies is one of the most i1I1D0l'f2lllf parts of a high school education. XVith this in mind history instructors worked to inform students about their world. Klr. Quay Smith, American History instructor, new to the lfnid school systetn, became head of the social studies department this year. Another addition was hlrs. Tillie Smith, American History instructor. Both Xvorld History, a sophomore elective, and Amer- ican History, a senior requirement, are taught in Ifnid High. Ciood citizenship is the main objective of the courses. The goal is reached not only through reading and class discussion but through theme writing and with it the use of reference books. A good history student knows enough about his subject to do research for the remainder of the material. All students take at least two weeks of geography, as teachers feel it is as important to know where something is as what it is. Current events is an important part of any social studies course. A student newspaper, complete with test questions on its contents, is a regular part of class work. liy looking at the past and present, students discover their part in the future.

The leaves anal branches of all phases of engineering, sociology, economics, antl medicine are also protlucetl by this tree. All have their basis in mathematics. The purpose of lfnicl High's mathematics clepartment was to give stuilents a baclcgrountl for growing their trees of knowletlge. lfirst anal seconcl year algebra, plane geom- etry, trigonometry, anal solicl geometry were the courses offered to foster this growth. liesicles teacher lectures anal practical applications in class, movies emphasizing mathematics helped the stutlents to learn to think logically. Space Age lnvades Science Department Test tubes, butterflies, galvanometers, Ohms Law, skel- etons, antl hyclrochloric acicl are all tools usecl by the various sections of the science llCD2lI'fll1K'llI'. lncreasesl world-witle interest in science extencletl to the halls of lf.ll.S. l ourteen biology classes, five chemistry classes anal three physics classes testified to this fact. Although one year of a laboratory science was requireml of each stuslent for gracluation, no stress was placetl on any specific scientific fiehl, because all were becoming in- creasingly important. liiology stutlents were taught about life anml living things while chemistry stuclents learnetl many chemical effects by experimenting in the motlern, well-equippetl laboratory. Light, heat, electricity, ancl machines were stumlietl in physics classes. Q4 X . 215 .AV-A 'n F 5 ' -v 5-4 'ik Qt
