HISTORY O All that is now happening has hap- pened before, says the philosopher and the historian. To understand the com- plexities of diplomatic and military ac- tion that are now playing the theater of the world it is necessary to have a knowledge of the action of the past. The History Department, in covering the story of the world's events from the be- ginning of time, shows the relationship of the past to the present, and forms a reliable groundwork for predictions as to the future. ry+Mr. Cantrell, Miss Moke, Mr. Hotz, Mr. Jessup, Miss SL Mr. Ross, Miss Warner, Miss Emery. ECGNOMICS lEconomics is defined as the science that investigates the conditions and laws affecting the production, distribution, and consumption of wealth. As such it forms an interesting, informative study. ewzxrt, Economics-Mr. Huffman. Sociology-Miss Dawson. SGCIOLUGY I When billions of people come together, certain problems are bound to result from their relationships. Sociology is an analysis of these problems and a study of means for their solution.

CHE ISTRY lThe chemist has invented and im- proved many products which have im- measurably bettered our way of life. Now the chemists of America are en- gaged in a struggle to preserve that way of life. In the well-equipped laboratories of Lakewood High, students bend over boiling test tubes and foaming beakers. probing the secrets of the elements. From these young persons will come the scientists of tomorrow who will lead the world in the devising not of imple- ments to kill but of a pathway to an en- lightened civilization.

MATHEMATICS 0From the crude tracings of the ancient Egyptians to the complicated equations of today, mathematics has played an important part in the life of man. The ancients, desires to devise a system whereby they could determine the boundaries of fields eventually led to our present knowledge of geometrical laws and truths. All the divisions of mathematics have grown in complexity and usefulness with man's continual scientific advance- ments. It is one of the fundamental objec- tives of our mathematics department to teach its students to think out problems for themselves, to make their own deci- sions. In more realitsic terms mathe- matics offers to those students who aspire to be engineers and technicians a basic training with which they fulfill their ambitions. Geometry, algebra, trig- onometry-tools with which the build- ers of tomorrow will construct the dreams of today.
