MISS AGNES BROWN MR. HARRY BUDEWITZ MR. EDWARD BUZZETTI MR. FRANK KELLEY Teaching world history and modern European history is the duty of Miss Agnes Brown. The social committee of the Girls' Club accomplishes great things under her supervision. The past, present, and future of world history is taught by Mr. Harry P. Bude- witz to freshmen and sophomores. His desire for lesson illustrations is shown by the pictures, paintings, and models furnished by his talented students. Aside from teaching, his time is well filled through his sponsorship of the freshman class. To help the Spartans of M. H. S. in reaching the utmost pinnacle of suc- cess is the goal of Mr. Edward Buzzetti, assistant coach and teacher of Ameri- can history and sociology. Mr. Frank T. Kelley teaches future citizens commercial law, government, and sociology. His classes of political and social discussions stimulate his pupils and have sent many on the road to sociological fields. Social sciences are taught by tall, dark Mr. Ralph Soroos. Traveling dur- ing the summers, he sees America First . Through reading in spare moments he keeps up a literary con- tact with the world in general. Small wisecracks enliven Mr. Clifton B. Worthen's United States history classes. Anecdotes from his study of early Montana interest his pupils in the colorful history of western pioneer days. He sponsors the Stamp Club and has many interesting specimens of his own. 17 MR.

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

SYMBOLS FOR SCIENCE Mr. Millard E. Peterson, head of the science department, teaches sophomore boys the science of biology. An inter- esting instructor, he continues his studies outside of class rooms in the classification of wild flowers and gar- dening. Music and art delight Mr. Pet- erson, while he dislikes rude boys and surrealism. This summer he and his wife plan a trip to the coast. Science is a field which has develop- ed with amazing rapidity in the past few decades. New fields have been opened and discoveries have been made which have revolutionized the world. Our everyday life is based on the workings and findings of extended scientific research. Science has found cures for diseases in the field of medi- cine, improved processes in manufac- turing, uncovered data for history. Eco- nomic and social problems are helped by scientific points of view and almost every profession and industry has bene- fited by its progress. General science gives a varied knowledge of phenome- non connected with nature. Biology is more specialized, for all living things are studied. In physics, one learns about the physical changes going on and their effects. Chemistry concerns all chemical action in both organic and inorganic substances. These high school studies open the door to wider, different frontiers in the as yet undis- covered lands of science. MR. MIILLARD PETERSON
