UTENSILS FOR WORLDWIDE UNDERSTANDING Able head of the social science de- partment is Miss Edna A. Mann. Inter- national relations and United States history make up her teaching schedule. In addition to these duties she is spon- sor of the local chapter of the National Honor Society and conducts the local League of Nations contest. As a read- er and collector of books, Miss Mann profitably spends her spare moments. Social sciences have never been more emphasized in high school than during the present crises. Every stu- dent has a vital interest at stake in in- ternational affairs, which, if changed in any way, may greatly influence his life. Through the social sciences the student learns how these foreign de- velopments affect him directly. Think- ing and reasoning out solutions from knowledge gained in history help the student form logical opinions on pres- ent day problems. Economics does its part in explaining how people make their living and also in explaining our complex financial system. Govern- ment deals with the law-making pow- ers of our government and explains the intricate machinery involved in keep- ing the wheels of the nation turning. How the United States cooperates with other nations is studied in international relations. By radio talks over the lo- cal station, by class discussion of actu- al present day problems, and by form- ing unbiased opinions we play our part in preserving American democracy. 16 MISS EDNA MANN

Reading and hiking are Miss Jacobsen's favorite diversions. Showing seniors how to make voca- tional decisions, aiding freshmen and sophomores through guidance classes, and teaching algebra to freshmen is all in a day's work to Miss Audrey Proc- tor. Through her expert direction M.H.S. has become outstanding in guidance work. MR. NOEL BAKER MR. HAROLD J. HUNT MISS EDNA JACOBSEN MISS AUDREY PROCTOR
