Cifizenri ip galucafion While we read, we make history. -Aldrich HIS quotation might mean that someone studying Citizenship Education today could be president some years hence. But even if this far fetched simile doesn't come true, students studying ancient, medieval, and modern history do enjoy the subiect. One of the reasons is that Citizenship Edu- cation is presented in the form of discus- sions and open panels giving every student an opportunity for class participation. Shown here is one of Mr. Wilson's classes in a typical discussion. Citizenship Education is given to all students no mat- ter what course they are taking. Regard- less of what field they enter after high school, Citizenship Education has prepared them with a broader outlook on life through the study of historv. 17

Our English department, headed by Miss Barth, recognizes this 'fact and tries to make available to our students a rich background in literature, and a firm foun- dation in grammar, both essential in so many ways. This year a class in iournalism was be- gun. lt oHers invaluable experience to those interested in writing careers, and provides enioyment for those who find relaxation and satisfaction in writing. Many students choose between this new class and the creative writing class already in existence. Ilghif KK'

All four classes have their choice of French, Latin, Spanish, or German. Many students take two languages in preparing for college. This picture is an example of the indus- try put into linguistic studies. One of Mr. Navarra's classes is striving to master French pronunciation. Besides learning grammar, students become acquainted with the culture and literature of the coun- try whose language they are studying. They often learn songs and act out plays peculiar to the various countries. Many students go on to ioin a language club where they can further their interest and enjoy themselves as well. ,-,A 5857-lm AM, W. Q s xi f , 5 . Qi his X E ,Q Ill l llilN i r i K 41 I8
