What a jumblel But it's not as jumbled as it looks. 1t's all part of one of our school's biggest divisions-the Social Studies De- partment. Every student at L.M.S. has come un- der this department some time or other. Freshman Civics students view the clock- work of our government. World History students, the hard-Working sophomores, hope desperately that they won't have a quiz on the Reformation. Juniors, who study American History, leam of the great compromiser, Clay, and of Ameri- ca's Caesar, Lincoln. And the busy senior P.O.D, students work late to com- pute. the amount of interest paid on an installment plan purchase. Social Studies boring? Certainly not. It is alive with the actions of mankind.

: Dvorak,s New World Symphony can I transport him into another world and I erase his temporal cares, : Acquainted with English and Ameri- M can writers and their works in literature, I he might remember several quotations of I Shakespeare or the main characters of g Animal Farm. As an avid reader, he is gg still sociable. With a cheery Buenos Q BE diasg Como esta usted?,' he brings a smile to the strange faces of the Puerto Rican family who just moved in. Recreational- ly, he enjoys a Scrabble game in Latin and heartily participates in a German spelling bee. Impractical individual? Indeed not. He visits enchanting South Pacific islands and quaint European towns right in his easy chair through the pages of a book.

Ed. 362 Atkins Avenue 2130 Hobson Road Lancaster, Pennsylvania Lancaster, Pennsylvania Shorthand, Typewriting Typewriting, Bookkeeping, Office Practice PRACTICAL ARTS Amidst all the mental endeavor and learning they also strive with their hands. The Home Economics student stitches those last ten inches of that hem. With genuine interests she prepares a lab ex- perimentf' Not always does she offer up burnt sacrifices. A teacher as an hon- ored guestl What excitement! With a paint brush in his hand and a smeared grin on his face, the shop student becomes recognizable. His hands are an indication of his labors. Sometimes they hold a hammer, sometimes a piece of sandpaper, Take a peep into the shop some spring day. Wouldn't it be fun to study at one of those glossy desks, light- ed by one of those pretty lamps? Knowledge becomes alive through ac- tion. The practical arts student becomes acquainted with the skills of doing. COMMERCIAL The commercial students prepare themselves for their part in the business world. Iunior Business Training, Business English, Typing, Shorthand, Bookkeep- ing, and Oflice Practice, this is the busi- ness training course, Timed Writings-speed tests-spelling words-bookkeeping projects.
