Social Studies and Boy? Pfiysfkal Educafrbn To gain a thorough understanding of our cultural background, the Social Studies De- partment offers such subjects as American, ancient and European historyg civics, the study of world governmentsg careers, which helps students determine their most suitable occu- pationsg and economics, a study of consumer interests and common economic problems. These will aid us to solve our many world problems. The Boy's Athletic Department is attempt- ing to make leaders of this generation by teaching to boys physical fitness and good sportsmanship. In addition to the regular school teams, students take swimming and health to learn good health habits and how to meet successfully any emergency. It is under- standable, therefore, why this course is re- quired for four years. Henry H. Schultz: Vllilliam T. Bourgeois: liloyd E. ltohrkc: llarry M. Ellis. 19

Scfbnce and Manual Arts Teenagers, as our nation's future leaders, should become familiar with the problems which they shall have to overcome in a world ever changing by new scientific discoveries. They must take the lead in scientific research if they hope to further medical knowledge and discover inventions for the benefit of mankind. The study of science, therefore, is extremely valuable. Besides offering excellent training, the man- ual arts courses greatly benefit Hyde Park. The school press prints all the school pro- grams, plus other items. In the front lobby there is a large showcase in which are dis- played the handy articles made by the VVood Shop. In addition, the aspiring young home- makers in the Foods Classes make delicious goodies for special teas and programs. Helen J. Kriewitzg Walter Brenkeg Hazel G. Constantinidesg George J.

We, as students, know very little about how the other fellow lives, but by taking foreign languages we learn how to read and write someone elsels tongue, and also something of the history of the country.

At Hyde Park, the foreign languages offered are: Latin, Spanish, French and German. 6013 Pfzyslbal Educanbn Physical education is an ini- portant subject for women of today and Hyde Park coeds must take four years of it. In addition to basketball, volley- ball, baseball, soccer, and exer- cises, they are instructed in health and swimming. For those girls especially interested in physical education there are the Girl's Athletic Association and the Leader's Class. The girl's gym is always a hub of energy and activity.
