FERN MRS RACHEL IZUMOTO MAU MCQUESTEN OMORI The sophomore English -social studies program aimed to develop the habit of clear thinking and to encourage participation in school government and community affairs. It also encouraged students to co-operate with others and to assume responsibility. The study of world history fas well as world literature! helped the sophomores to understand the problems of the modern world, beginning from ancient times up to the present, with the emphasis being placed especially on the significant advances in the political, economic, religious, social, cultural, and international fields. The sophomore guidancep rogram helped them to develop a greater insight into the vast field of occupational opportu- nities and guided them into discovering and developing their own particular career interests which were to serve as their springboards into the future.

gf W, 2 M AW The Junior English-social studies de- partment saw a change in November when Mrs. Feirer was promoted to the front office of the D. P. I. and was replaced as department head by Miss Chuck. How- ever, the junior program was so well- organized that all activities planned for the year were successfully carried out. Work in English included reports, corn- position writing, and lessons in grammar and vocabulary building. All teachers stressed participation in oral work. In history, one of the most important phases of the study of the United States was that of the Constitution, basis of our democratic government. J unio r s also studied the beginning and the development of political parties and followed the local government closely. The study of America's foreign rela- tions and the study of her industrial and social development gave them a better understanding of present day problems. The study of American literature, in- tegrated with their study of Am eri can history, helped to enrich their culture. Through the year, juniors learned to value their American heritage through a finer appreciation of its rich background. MRS ELEANOR MISS VIOLET MRS. JULIA MRS LUCY CHING CHUCK EK ANS FARDEN
