Mathematics is an arm of the octapus that is science. No matter Where we go, or what we do, we use it, although it some- times may seem more of an obstacle than an aid. But if you enjoy it, Math can be a lot of fun. Today, more than ever, the mathemati- cal sciences are very important. Complex computers and electronic brains are now making calculations it would take man cen- turies to perform, in minutes. Tomorrow? WVho knows! Perhaps math- ematics will bring us to the threshold of the stars! VVe learn from past mistakes. This is Why History is so important to us today. Through History, We learn to interpret the actions of different nations, through the Way in which they react to certain circum- stances. In current events, we are made aware of the World around us, and are taught to be alert with an eye to the future. We learn of the cultures and good and bad points of civilizations in a search to com- bine the knowledge of all before us to create a superior civilization. 22 Cubes, Nouns, Dates WVhere would we be if we were unable to communicate in our own language?

The Agri- culture Program of L.H.S. serves to pre-- pare these students for the technical field that Agriculture is today. It helps to pre- pa1'e them for the world of tomorrow, which will be even more complicated than the world of today.

We, as students, are offered recreation under the guidance of trained personnel who do their best to keep us fit. As a team member, each student must learn to take responsibility, and to continue it on his own. , C Q C 24 Learning how to drive a car has almost become a necessity in our world of today.
