Pothuisje, include grammar one semester and literature the other semester. In grammar, students progress from learning parts of speech in the seventh grade, tran- sitive and intransitive verbs as sophomores, and advanc d composition as seniors. During lit- erature classes, the seventh grade is contented with short stories while the sophomores read such classics as 'Silas Marner' and 'Julius Caesar', and the juniors study American literature. Sen- ior English is slightly different since it deals with the study of draws, public speaking, and study of English literature. SCCIAL STUDIES Regardless of sputnik's throwing the limelight on science, it is in social studies, the area of people and their getting along together, that the world's fate is sealed. B,,1des vorld history gn ggggraphy, Mrs, Dart and M . M Grath share the teaching of American history, government, and economics. The memories from these social studies classes will continue to make history as the moments progress. History in the making! Velma Dart 1.41-

, so Mr. Hawn joined the administra- tion two years ago. He has been a member of the community for many years, operating a success- ful implement business. Since assuming his duties of trustee, Mr. Hawn has made many improve- ments in the physical plant.

Good- land is always happy to have him return where he spent nine years as principal from 1942 to 1951. Mr. Norris has always shown cooperative spirit in per- forming his duties as county superintendent. He is ready at all times to advise and lend a helping hand where needed throughout the county. Mr. Sharp came to our community in July, l957, and immediately assumed his duties as principal of Goodland Public Schools. He came to our town from Pulaski where he had served eight suc- cessful years as principal of that school. We hope that our school will continue to grow through his leadership.

SCIENCE Edwards Br own Throughout the year Mr. Brovn's science students were beckoned to their studies with sputniks orbiting through space and missiles heading skyward. The seventh and eighth graders found general science especially appealing as they studied jets and rockets, astronomy, force, power, energy, machines, and climate. In biology the freshmen learned of the importance of the one celled animal as well as the cunplexity of the largest mammal. In chemistry juniors and seniors memorized ele- ments, velences and reactions hoping to see more deeply into the composition of materials. Experiments and projects will give science students many mcnents to remember. MATHEMATICS The math instructors for this year were Mrs. Dart, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Pothuisje, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Sharp. The seventh and eighth grade studied arithmetic while the freshmen learned algebraic factoring and equations. In geometry, the tenth grade studied theorems involving planes, and in college algebra, some juniors and seniors studied a more advanced form of math. They must have figured it out! 2 + 2 : I, Joyce Pothuisje K
