In government and economics me sen.ors koop up with current events by d srussmg them one hour each week. Chuck McFall, Norma Kohlor, and Sarah Miller are considering tho steel strike. In order to graduate, all seniors are required to take one semester of U.S. Government and one semester of economics. The former gives the seniors a better understanding of how our govern- ment operates on the local, state, and national bases; and economics acquaints them with im- portant trends in making a living. Through lectures, group and panel discussions, and films these students learn more about the great heritage of our United States. U.S. History, which is required for all juniors, encourages the students to take an interest in the story of America including everything from the adventures of Columbus to current events. To lecrn more about the historical background of other countries like France, Germany, and Great Britain students enroll in the elective subject, World History. This course also gives the students a view of the changing times of the past centuries and how they fit into our own history. HECKAMAN TRAILER MFG. AND BUILDER J. R.

create inquisitive minds . . . The courses of science offered at N.H.S. include biology, chemistry, and physical science. One year of science is required for graduation and this requirement may be met with any of these courses. In biology the students learn to classify many plants and animals from the simplest forms to the most complex. During the year they disect many different animals and also learn more about their habits and makeup. Besides learning the names of the different elements and their physical and chemical proper- ties, the chemistry classes do many experiments in the well equipped laboratories of N.H.S. Only juniors and seniors may take this elective course which alternates yearly with physics. Physical science, which is taken by students who do not wish to study physics or chemistry but who wish to further their background in the sciences, gives the students a general knowledge of almost all sciences. Through these courses, students are grasping a wealth of information for a world demanding superior knowledge of mathematics and science. Judy Wriqht is observing some small, ono-collod animals, invisible to the naked oye. But, with the aid of the microscope, sho can see the minute creaturos found in the hay infusion she proparod.

all countries of our vast world Ancient Rome is a point of great interest for people traveling to Italy as Ron Kendall, Roy McDonald, Tina Knoble and Ruth Stuckey, students of Latin II, are observing from the map. and through languages. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither can a knowledge of Latin. Latin is the basic foundation for other languages around the globe. A great many English words are derived from Latin roots, and these are studied in both years of Latin offered at N.H.S. The first year includes a general study of the language of the Romans, and Latin II is primarily about Julius Caesar. Latin is almost a necessity for vocations dealing with medicine, such as doctors, nurses, and phar- macists. Many scientists also find a knowledge of Latin helpful. The Latin classes have an annual feast called the Roman Banquet, which is held early in the spring. The menu is strictly Roman and the after dinner entertainment is furnished by the students of Latin II, as illustrated in the picture below. Costumes and music enhance this annual event. This is a scon© taken from th© play givon at tho Roman Banquet. Appear- ing in this musical comedy, Th© Death of Caesar, are Karen S. Goorgo, Loren Berger, Roy McDonald, Roger Holdorman, and Ron Kendall, a very much allvo Julius Caesar. DOUGLAS W. PRICE. M.D.—Market and Dm Streets EVANGEL PRESS—Printers of the Napanet 9
