941' His Our history department covers several fields of the history of the world and its peoples. Eighth grade history gives a foundation in the history of our own country. Sophomore World History projects the student's mind into the wider scale of world wide problems by linking the past historical events with the present ones. In the junior year another but more detailed course in American History refreshes the student's mind for the final course in the factual study of our country's government. In sociology class the student learns the why's and wherefore's of the ways in which people live. All of these courses except sociology are required.

All of these courses have a goodly amount of personal experiments and projects to give the students proficiency in methods and in fol- lowing written and oral instruction. Most of these students find that good grades in these courses in high school mean good grades also in the courses along the same line offered by colleges. Many of the things studied are valuable in every day life. Interest- ing things about our workaday world and life are learned in these courses.

Scientific Courses Our high school offers to its pupils four very excellent courses in scientific study and experimentation. The freshman general science course touches almost every field of high school science. It gives the freshmen a chance to decide whether or not they will want to go into this study further in their other three years of high school. For those who find they are interested, the biology, chemistry and physics courses offer opportunities to study in more detail the fundamentals learned in general science. Page Eleven
