History and math courses help t0day's teenagers KEEPING UP with current news is easy with weekly periodical used in history classes. In this atomic era even teenagers recognize the basic need for a deeper and clearer under- standing of man's past and his progress. Con- sequently, the numerous and varied history classes at GHS were filled with enthusiastic students. They pored over mapsg they read their weekly American Observer, then rush- ed avidly to the library for more news and analytical articles. Their wide interest fur- nished them plenty of material for animated, sometimes heated, discussions. Whether it was in the required American history, or the elective world history, geography, economics, or international affairs, students were gain- ing knowledge vital to their role as voters and leaders of tomorrow. EVERY STUDENT takes an animated part in the daily discussions of international affairs. MAPS hold endless fascination for eager minds. 5 . , 5 ' . s m 5 . g i ' '- sa-as tg.. . .ia -Q.. ri k ' 7 s km E. .Lx mums! .535 vga

become tomorrnw' informed, resourceful citizens 'l'he alert GHS student knows that he will need a knowledge of more math than he gains in the basic courses required of him for graduation. So he elected advanced courses in algebra, in geometry, and in trigonometry. He chose to agonize over theorems and prop- ositions, arcs and angles, sines and cosines, spheres and pyramids. He was not really dismayed by those taxing Thursday tests, or the brand new problems, or his turn to dem- onstrate and explain at the blackboard. What he learned he tried out in practical ways, with measured distances and known formulas. He was deliberately preparing him- self to take a useful place in today's highly complicated world. PRACTICAL USE is made of methods and formulas learned in trigonometry class. SOLID GEOIVIETRY is clarified by the study of visible forms - plus a master teacher's explanations. Vg J
