Lauderdale High School, every student be- comes familiar with these famous words, while in United States History class. In this required subject we study the history of America preceding its actual discovery, the factors that have influenced our des- tiny—both events and people, and the workings of our democratic government. American Government is a specialized study of the mechanics of our government; the President, the Senate and House of Representatives, the Supreme Court, and the Laws of our land. Problems of American Democracy, bet- ter known as P.A.D., stresses the impor- tance of every individual's participation for an effective democracy. It promotes an un- derstanding of good citizenship and en- courages its use at home and at school. The course in World History gives an overall picture of the development of the world and it teaches the importance of making people everywhere increasingly in- terdependent. Modern European History and Contem- porary History are both a study of current events and as a result the news magazines become the number one seller on LH$ campus. Florida History is an analysis of our own Sunshine State, from the settlement of Saint Augustine to the modern thriving in- dustries. While studying the History of the South we discover .the invisible thread that ties the South lands together. The purpose of education is to develop well adjusted, happy individuals who will fit into the community, accepting the re- sponsibilities and obligations of a democ- racy. Truth and fact are ranked first in the Social Studies classes, where students are considered citizens of today as well as of tomorrow. History repeats itself—but don't you repeat history.

They Give Music to Hear, and Art to See . . . and the band played on.” Any member of LHS Band, under the direction of Mr. Bennett, will tell you that it certainly does play on, and on. and on. The fundamentals of music are incorporated in the practice and preparation for the many activities which include: football halftime shows, pep assemblies, concerts, and District and State Contests. Daily drills are aimed at maintaining the very high standards of a Double A Class School. The blue and white uniforms and the traditional Charge!” have become a symbol of the unquenchable Fort Lauderdale High spirit. The appearance of Lauderdale High is greatly beauti- fied by the art department. Advanced art classes deal mainly with experimental art—working with textures, chemicals, metals, and glass. At the present they are painting a mural to be placed in the library. The begin ning classes learn types of printing and basic design. They 'do some portrait work and when anyone needs a poster, they're whizzes at that. Led by Mr. Bekemeyer. the members of the Ft. Lau- derdale chorus are singing ambassadors throughout our city. In the classroom of beginning chorus, students study the fundamentals of music, breath control, and sight reading. Members of Girls' A Cappella Choir and Advanced Mixed Chorus, who have been chosen be- cause of general musical ability, prepare for their many programs, and State and District Contests. Don't ask questions, just admire it, says Leo Mizell as sho shows her modern art to John Boice. A Brass rehearsal! and modulating waves of harmony reverberate from the band room as members practico long hours to porfect their num bors for district.
