History is important for all To know the world, the people, the various governments is a necessity for today’s youth. Our graduates must have much more background in this field than former generations. Ninth graders learn of local, county, state, and federal governments. Tenth grade world history gives the students the history of mankind. He learns why nations have become great and why they decline. Juniors learn through American History how our country grew and the tasks confronting a fast growing nation. Political, social, and economic problems had to be worked out by our able leaders. Basic to all laws was the word “democracy.” Seniors busy themselves with Modern Problems. This course includes the problems of today, the world problems which are more critical than at any previous time. After four years of social studies, students should be better equipped to meet the world.

Science and Math essential Nebraska City High School was the first high school west of the Missouri. This annual was named for the brave pioneers who had the courage to make a home and provide a school over one hundred years ago. The gradual growth and change has brought modern schools which offer the youth of today four courses: college preparatory, basic, business, and vocational. Our atomic world has made it necessary to strengthen and extend science and math classes. To the college prep people we offer algebra, geometry, a year of advanced algebra, and if ten or more students are interested, trigonometry. More students are realizing the value of science. To these are offered: general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. DON JESSIE OTT MC GAFFEY Math Math PAUL ARTHUR HOLLIWAY MAJORS Chemistry Biology
