Sorlien Special Department What is more relaxing after a hard day's work than to be ahle to pick up a good hook and read it, to listen to and understand good music, or to watch or participate in an athf letic contest? Students leaving school this year are going into a world in which it is becoming ever' more important to have lvoth physical and mental relaxation. For graduates of Fargo High this will present no problem since during their school days they have had a chance to participate in all forms of athletics, vocal training, glee club, the A Cappella choir, hand, orchestra, musical quartets, and have lfeen able to use and acquaint themselves with a good lihrary.

Superintendent H. H. Kirk Principal B. C, B. Administration ' Posrtunii IN PaosE In the midst of uncertainty and national peril the members of the classfof I 42. tak their diplomas and leave the Fargo Senior High School to assume such responsibilities a confused and chaotic world may demand. We are all unhappily aware that material and idealogical revolutions are shaking the social structure and the civilization of the ages and that the future is unpredictable. There is one postulate, however, unmistakably clear. Educated men and women must solve the problems of both war and peace. The war must be won and peace must be defined by the vigor and brains of an educated generation. Qur graduates are already on the march to' ward a decisive conquest of ignorance and evil, but they must still answer the call for a more efficient and higher leadership based on additional learning and more technological skill, to he attained through discipline and work and sustained by an inspired faith in the Fatherhood of God and the lfrotherhood of man, B.

'LM' k F LV 57 English Included in the course of every graduating senior is a complete study of English. The high school English curriculum is divided into three divisions. The first division is Theory which includes the fundamentals and rules of grammar. Such things as may instead of can , am noti' instead of ain't , and tahoos on dangf ling participles are familiar to all seniors. Also included in this division are lessons in spelling. The next division is Applied English which is again divided into two sections. Most important is Speech since it is used in every form of activity, whether you are rich or poor. Of course, as you become more adept with your speech, you can add to your en' joyment by taking part in dramatics and debate. The second part of this section is Writ' ing. Every day some form of writing is done by the majority ofthe people. It may be a composition, a letter, or just a business report. The third division can and should lie enjoyed by everyone. It is Appreciation. Many of us will never see the landmarks of Europe either because we arenit able to travel abroad or tecause they are being destroyed by the war. However, they are within our reach in the Rimous classics. Perhaps even more important than this feature are the facts about our own country and its history and traditions. Although it has been nearly a century and a half since the ride of Paul Revere, it is kept alive in the minds of the people by Longfellows vivid description. It is our privilege to have freedom of speech and press. Thus it is our patriotic duty to learn to use them to the best advantage. l Patty Martin presides while Ruth Clauson gives an oral report Mlss Marvel Ellison Eleven Wage I fs V 1 . if if yank ,gJff ilTTT 0 ii' 1
