Emphasis is placed on discussion, group work , and individual projects rather than direct lecture . Through such learning as this our ideals are hoped to be preserved and our understanding of our fellow men to be greatly enriched. 18 if I a 1 N'- Social Studies Every student at L.H.S . must take Citizenship, World History and American Histcry in order to graduate . He may also elect to take Missouri History, American Government, or American Problems . These courses under the in- struction of Mr. B. Hornemann, Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Iaworski and Mr. Rushing have definite and important objectives. They help the student develop intelligent attitudes toward other nations, his nation, his state, his community, his family, and to accept his responsibilities to them. This is accomplished through a thorough study of backgrounds , her- itages, and present day problems. Instead of a memorization process in which great masses of historical data are to be recalled, historical trends Outline this chapterl

Science In recent years , new discoveries and research have created a growing de- mand for more scientists. The scientific field is be- coming increasingly im- portant. In order to meet the present needs and to make progress, there will have to be an influx of trained young people--this is where the educational system is involved. Lindbergh provides the student with four years of science, general science, biology, chemistry and physics. In biologya stu- dent becomes acquainted with the many kinds of watch those f 112961-S !

Such as the composition of matter , the transformations which materials undergo, the reasons for changes and the energy changes which make them possible. The science of physics deals with the inanimate world, energy and matter and their interrelationships .

Math Quote. . . Ah, the beauty of math! It unfolds like a budding flower! . . .unquote, Mr. Haeger, elementary, advanced and college algebra teacher, plane and solid geometry teacher and trigonometry teacher. With teachers who feel so strongly about the subjects they teach, it is no wonder that the math students cannot leave the courses with a deep appreciation of them. Perhaps they will never have such a deep-seated love for math as their teacher, but you can be sure they will have a reverent attitude toward it-- you would, too, if you read, stud- ied, devoured, and digested the beauty of math. It is not only the math itself which will be of use later, the study habits acquired and the self-dis- cipline it demands can be invaluable. Here's a little d1tty .

The nature of Lindbergh's courses builds character, exercises and develops logical thinking, and sends forth well-prepared stu- dents. If anyone fails to derive the full bene- fits of the courses, he needs a crying towel and a tear verse! One year of math or elementary algebra is required, although students usually take two years. If a vocation in science, archi- tecture, or engineering is planned , four years are recommended. 19
