Who was Rivers Wilson? History l066l 1492! 1588! 1789! 1815! Dates, dates, and more dates. Why couldn't everything happen in the same year? This is the plaintive cry of the sophomore studying for his first history exam. Haverford offers a well diversified and stimulating course of study in the field of history. The sophomore is exposed to World History, ably taught by Miss Utz and the Messrs. Breuninger, Huber, and Valenti. This course offers a study of European and Asiatic countries from ancient times until the present. American History, expertly handled by the Messrs. Hughes and Livingston, constitutes the history program for juniors. Here the pupil studies every phase of American history, from the settling of Jamestown in 1607 to the conclusion of the Korean War. And now, the piece de resistance. Seniors at last, and history is not required. Surprisingly, though, most students choose to continue their study of history, and so two elective courses are offered. The more popular of the two is P.O.D., taught by Mr. Shiplett lfor those unenlightened individuals, P.O.D. means Problems of Democracyl. Students taking this course are accustomed to getting their fingers ink-smudged reading Time Newsweek, and U. S. News and World Report - major requirements. P.O.D. deals mainly with current events and present world problems. Last, but not least, for stalwart, ambitious, and book-laden seniors, Mr. Stinson offers his European International Relations course. Affectionately l?l referred to as E.l.R., this college-preparatory course covers three units of study-The Industrial Revolution, The First World War, The Second World War. When a student completes his history course at Haverford, he will have a knowledge of the things that have made history. ROBERT A. JAMES SHIPLETT MARGARET L. UTZ ARTHUR R.

MIRIAM V. N. COLLINS National Honor Society QL, -not PAUL J. DOBRANSKY j.V. Football Mathematics Every day mathematics are becoming more and more important in this modern world in which we live, and Haverford's well-qualified staff is doing its part in acquainting its students with the various fields of mathematics. General mathematics, offered to those who do not wish to pursue higher learning, is taught by Mr. Harter. For students who missed elementary algebra in junior high, this course is offered again in the high school. As the degree of difficulty is increased, plane geometry and intermediate algebra are next in line. These courses of study are under the supervision of Miss Collins, Miss Wiener, Mrs. Johnson, and the Messrs. Dobransky, Howarth, and Musser. The ultimate goal in the field of math at Haverford is to pass solid geometry and trigonometry. Both these courses are one semester each, and are taught by Mr. Howarth. As one looks in on a solid or trig class, he may find among the multitude of boys one or two courageous, but bewildered, girls. We are proud of the fact that Haverford is one of the few schools in this are-a which offers a course in trigonometry. For the first time, this year an auditor course lone in which no mark is givenl in college algebra was offered. lt met with such enthusiasm that perhaps this course eventually will become a permanent part of our mathematics program.
