America can no longer use the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to isolate itself from 'alien' philosophies and cultures, as we have done in the past when people have begun to ques- tion the basic values and beliefs of our society. In short, whether we be liberal or conservative we cannot afford the smug luxury of believing that we are always right and that if people do not totally agree with us, that they are there- fore wrong. It is to this task of social re-education that the Martin Luther High School Social Studies Department is dedicated. Mr. Heien 25

English i W rr Educators have argued long and loudly about what constitutes a good English program in the high school.

Mu ic There are important values in taking a music course in high school, even if you do not plan to make a career in the field of music. Primarily a music course should lead a student to recognize and appreciate music and the musical talent as gifts of God and to glorify Him with the same. Secondly, these talents should be developed through group activities and through creative musical experiences. Another value of a music course is that it can acquaint one with the great works in musical liter- ature and the great works and composers of music history. Finally, a class in music is designed to help each student to become a more knowledgeable, appreciative, and discerning adult in the area of music and the fine arts. MR.
