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.

 Two lines perpendicular . . That's the theorem and this model of the models made by the students in Mr. Spaulding's solid class. L’s Are Kept in the In this complex and competitive age of rockets and guided missiles, mathematics has become ever- increasingly important to everyone, particularly to today's students, tomorrow's leaders. Mathematics is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, subjects taught in the many educational in- stitutions of the world. No one nation discovered the beginnings of mathematical knowledge, but each nation borrowed the knowledge of another, adding something in turn, a never-ceasing process that has and will continue to go on throughout the centuries of the future. The manifold divisions of mathematics as we know it today, such as arithmetic, algebra, and trigonometry, were unheard of; thus mathemat- ics was taught as one inclusive course. The Mathematics Department of Fort Lauderdale High School effectively functions under the direc- tion of Mr. George Spaulding, together with his staff of nine highly-trained teachers. Many facts and findings produce a clear picture of the excel- lent quality of this department. Many students, upon bidding their final farewell to Fort Lauderdale High, will enter into the wide, wide world of business. Others will pledge their loyalty to Uncle Sam through military service. Still others will set sail on the good ship Matrimony. proves it, soys George Bonhem as he shows Lorry Buchanan one Swim” as Visions of For these students, courses portraying a more per- sonal outlook on mathematics are offered, such as bookkeeping and junior-senior mathematics. These courses deal with such utilitarian subjects as main- taining personal and simple accounts, Social Secur- I ity, insurance, installment purchases, and many I others. If you are college-bound, and have a general | education in mind, plane geometry is the course I that will be the excellent aid to you on the way to higher mathematics. College-review mathematics is highly recommended, presenting to the student not only the fundamentals of arithmetic, algebra, plane geometry, and the slide rule, but also a brief en- counter with some advanced mathematics. This I course aids in refreshing your mind and making you a better and more capable mathematics student in college. Candidates for the Einsteins and Von Brauns of the future, who are planning to enter the technical, 1 or scientific field, will include in their curriculum I courses in plane geometry. Algebra II, solid geom-1 etry and trigonometry. Mathematics can never be | emphasized enough when one is considering a future | in a field such as this, with its host of excellenti opportunities.
