HISTUHY As modern man and his machines reduce the magnitude of the globe, the task of history instructors is made proportionally greater and more vital. Only with a basic knowledge of the history and gov- ernment of nations now within air hours of our borders can we hope to understand their difficulties and actions, Unless this can be suc- cessfully accomplished, the peace and security of the world will be in constant jeopardy. As well as coverage of universal topics in world history classes, and of hemispheric relations in Latin- American history, a full realization of fm the establishment and development of A our United States is necessary. This is provided for by the requirement that all -3' V students enroll for one year of American , i' history and a semester of American gov- 41 ernment. .l Economics and sociology, the two , remaining courses offered by the History Department, delve into the complex questions relating to the wealth of men si and nations, and the social and racial l differences of peoples, respectively. 1 I ,-1, kay Isabelle Carlisle ...af GQ' Helen Huletz 1'-e yy--if Paul Radke A1'lllLll' Ramstad Gertrude Schnasse Florence Tennyson Maurice Thompson lO Visual education is fast-be- coming a vital part of the ac- tivities of the History Depart-

A complex trig problem is here step by step unfolded and clarified by Noel Walther to the attentive students of one ot his trigonometry classes. X llllllHElllllllCS Theorem and proposition, altitude and hypotenuse, logarithm and interpolation-all are household words to a student of higher mathematics in Everett High School. Though boasting but tour in- structors, the El-IS Mathematics Department offers a well-rounded and challenging course to alert young minds. This includes two years of algebra, a year of plane geometry, a semester of solid geom- etry, commercial arithmetic, and a semester in basic trigonometry. These courses provide a stable and 1041 ln, if 4 ...gr satisfactory foundation on which to build a college course in the numerous fields of engineering or the sciences of physics, chemistry, astronomy, medicine, naviga- tion, or aviation to ennumerate only a few. Though only two credits in .math are ,CII7 required for high school graduation, these courses are highly recommended for their value in inducing clear, logical reasoning and concentration as well as for their practical application in solving formulas and everyday problems, Leona Nesset Agnes Pheney ,A ,, Effie Ramstad is l Esther Sellie 1 S 51 --3 Kathryn McCormack Ruth Moody Noel Walther 7 Offstage: Valborg Ofstie ,I , l .riff il 0, . 9 gnmm, ,fa f fww,

One of the most interesting lab experiments performed during the year by students of Miss Jane Taylor's chemistry classes is making sulphuric acid. SCIENCE, SlUllY Hilll Though atoms are not split nor nuclear reactions studied in the laboratories of the Everett High School Science Department, stu- dents may gain a fundamental understanding of scientific principles by actual experimentation as well as book work. Future experts on the atomic bomb and rocket propulsion may today be mixing simple Compounds in the chemistry lab, or plotting the field of a magnet to complete a physics experiment. Besides physics and chemistry, classes in biology, botany and psychology are offered those interested in living organisms, plant life, and the mechanics of the mind, respectively. Photography, the newest member of the EHS science family, has attracted a very large group of students through its I opportunities for taking, developing, and printing pictures, An important part in the high school life of every student is the work done in study hall, preparing lessons and studying for exams. Students of EHS will long remember Cl, Sophomore study hall, and main study, to which they graduated as Juniors and Seniors.
