Lecturers, radio and television an- nouncers, and candidates for public ottice are all called upon to speak before audiences. Although all ot the students enrolled in the Senior Speech classes may not have aspirations ot becoming politicians or orators, they do realize the importance ot being able to communicate with large groups.

The teachers in the Social Studies Department of L.B.H.S. arouse their students' curiosity to reflect upon and determine their unique purpose in life. Each student learns of the preciousness of democracy, the freedom to make public his innermost beliefs and to discuss with others their validity. Situated on international territory surrounded by New York City, is the world-wide peace organization, the United Nations. Here, small, underdeveloped countries have the same opportunity as the large world powers to express their views on important issues. This is a specific evi- dence of democracy, the same democracy which is taught in the social studies classroom. 6'-ZA fji Y ' - . 7 0 1 X I , VVQVKVV , , f Q ' f . f f 5 Y - 1 'V ff if f 4 J 'V , VV 1 1,3 MR.
