Today's Youth -Tomorrow's Leaders Our economics teacher finally arrived. Mr. Lane looks on as Dudley Smith, Mary DeVaughn, and Richard Tinsley examine consumer wants during economics class. Searching into the science of economics, the students of this captivating subject have found out much that will be well-worthwhile in the future. A student who has a knowledge of economics is the person who will have the understanding of our American private enterprise system-the key to our own economic way of life, the efficient business of tomorrow, and the understanding of every day living. Mr. Lane attended to these two responsible tasks assisting in the administration of various problems as well as overseeing the continuous compilation of edu- cation in Economics. Maldito examen -These were familiar words when word got around of another one of Mr. Carey's tests. Probably the most useful and interesting language for a student in high school to learn today is Spanish. Perhaps, one's Spanish will be used more often than any other foreign language. Having an adequate Spanish foundation, a student can make great strides in understanding our Latin American neighbors. Mr. Carey is always willing to lend a helping hand when he is needed. This studious trio is engrossed in the fascinating study of the earth and its peoples. Delving into the science that describes the surface of the earth, with its people and products is the World Geography course. Almost everyone enrolled in the World Geography course has become extremely inter- ested in the many types of people and the every day living of our foreign neighbors. In this class, the stu- dents become thoroughly familiar with the understand- ing of the earth and its strange ways. The many problems of the American way of life are discussed during P.O.D. class. The many current problems of American life are discussed in the senior social studies course known as P.O.D. In order to vote with intelligence we should understand the structure of government, as well as political and economic living. By the conclusion of the year all participants of Problems of Democracy grasp the knowledge required of active citizens.
