WORLD HISTORY opens the portals to the centuries of the past, as the pupil comes to see the scope of history from past civiliza- tions up to the complex political systems of today. ' From the vantage point of a Christian with a knowledge of the Word of God, the student realizes that God . . . removeth kings, and setteth up kings . . . Daniel 2:21, and that the day is coming when . . at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth . . .U Philippians 2:10. United States History demonstrates the pat- tern for freedom in our country from the colonial days of our forefathers to the modern days of this generation. A required course for graduation, this study stimulates a true sense of appreciation for our national heritage based on faith in Cod. Through the extensive background knowledge acquired from the textbook, correlated with the information gained from clippings and pictures seen in class, each student is challenged to be an in- formed, active citizen in the great democracy of the United States of America. American Government, a required course, deals with the machinery of government, the functions of government, and the problems and issues of modern life in a democracy. Since an enlightened citizenry is of upper- most importance in our democracy, this course is definitely essential to each student in order that he may face the future as an alert, in- formed citizen. Individual reports prepared by each student and class discussions concerning varied politi- cal problems help to interpret the factual in- formation of the textbook. ..s:,, Miss Dorothy E.

ATIN serves as the basis for the study of many other languages, and through a knowl- edge of Latin roots, prefixes, and suiiixes, the exact meaning of an extensive number of English Words becomes clearer to the student. French not only endows the student with an insight into the culture and customs of France, but also enriches the student,s language and broadens his appreciation of a foreign people. Spanish, one of the most euphonious of the romance languages, is made more vivid through oral and Written reports on the coun- tries, characteristics, and customs of the Spanish-speaking peoples of the World. Typing, an often-chosen elective, trains the student in preparing various types of letters and in arranging manuscript material, thus developing practical efliciency. Algebra, offered as a basic course in mathe- matics, trains the student in the usage of algebraic expressions and equations. Geometry, 'with its orderly series of state- ments about points, lines, and planes, provides excellent training in concentration and prac- tical reasoning. Solid Geometry and Trigonometry are both offered as further courses in more advanced mathematics. Mrs. Alfred E. Glatfelter, B.S. ga W. QE? 1 K ltr. 5514-1, 5? Eqizp 5 .1 , -ff' I A , if Miss Fay C.
