Communications pass it along We humans communicate in so many ways. First, we communicated with grunts-our first language. As we spread out over the world, distinct languages took shape. Fordson’s Foreign Language Department tries to teach some of those principal languages with Latin, French, German, and Spanish classes. As our brains developed more, we humans thought of more ways to communicate. We began writing our language, putting it on little pieces of tape, then even- tually putting ourselves on the little pieces of tape. Our Media Center here at Fordson holds all of these “new” ways of communicating and more. There are also typewriters and a copying machine. The Media Center at Fordson has always been rated as one of the best high school libraries in the country. 1. Mrs. Ward handles a card catalog drawer expertly with style and grace. 2. Mrs. Keyser begins to get herself psyched-up for her French class. 3. A foreign language class; another example of hard workers at Fordson. 4. Mrs. Underwood is the chief of staff in Fordson's library. 5. The library helpers file books, issue books, and very efficiently, send out overdue notices. 6. Flight FHS- Waterkamp is preparing for take-off on runway B-205. 7. Looks like Miss Larkin was just zapped with some very unwelcomed correspondence. 20 Communications

Social Studies explains society What do the Spanish-American War, the laws of supply and demand, and the franking privilege have in common? Why of course, they’re all involved in social studies. Social Studies deals with human society. We learn of our American roots, what we did and where we’re going, in American History. In Economics we learn of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. We learn of the beauty of the U.S. Government in Civics. Put these all together, add some Personal Living and Psychology, and we have enough to learn a little more about each other and the functions of the world. 10 Miss Ness gets such a thrill out of teaching her Economics in German. 11. Eva Theisen and Mr. Petrie: Miss and Mr. Photo- genic themselves. 12. Mr. Stoyenoff is famous for the amusing stories he tells. 13. Great dance, Mrs. Zudick. 14. Mr. Rockwell is interrupted from his paper by some comment thrown from his class. 15. Suprisingly, Mr. Stasinos WASN'T posing for this picture. 16. C'mon you people, you're supposed to be reading about national and international affairs. Oh, you are? 17. Mr. Curran tries to hide his surprise quiz from his civics class. 22 Social Studies
