Social Studies As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. Billings Led by department head Mr. William Toufectis, the Social Studies department combined their diverse talents and abilities to provide students with a varied curriculum of Social Studies electives. Courses such as Great Issues, Black Studies, and S.S. Survey became popular with seniors and Tommy Thompson. Restricted by the mandates of the state, yet trying to face the freedom of liberalized education, the department managed to teach us events of the past, while helping us relate them to our present and future.

Communication is the goal of the language department, but if we know only the languages of people, and nothing of the people themselves, then communication is impossible. We were fortunate in that our language teachers realized this fact, and structured their courses to teach not only the language, but also the culture of their respective areas, which include French, Spanish, and Latin. Mr. Leon Cohen heads this versatile language department, and is assisted in teaching five levels of French language and culture by Ms. Sherrerd. Ms. Fernandez and Ms. Storch share the responsibility of teaching Spanish, while Mr. Eisenhart concentrates on five levels of Latin. The language department, because of its versatility in language and culture, as well as background and age, helps in bridging the gap between past and present, and foreign and domestic culture and language.

Math Mathematics takes us still further from what is human, to the region of absolute necessity, to which not only the actual world, but every possible world, must conform. Russell Led by department head”, Mr. Don Lyons, the Math Department combined their diverse talents and abilities to provide students with a varied curriculum. Courses such as Algebra, Geometry, Trig, and even 12H, bec-came popular with seniors and Tommy Thompson. Although students often complain that they can find no rhyme nor reason to some of the aspects of math, we must realize that mathematics is the foundation upon which much of science and business is based. With this in mind, we can develop a greater appreciation for the skills and reasoning involved in math. In closing. Microcosm would Ike to present the Math department with a second-place certificate, in the Dubious Achievement Award race, for having the second hairiest Head in our little world. Ms. C.
