Mrs. Velma Allison CA.B.l Commerce and Psychology Mrs. Martha Armstrong fB.S.J American History The forty-five members of the faculty of Nevada High School work in their various departments not only to promote the academic aspects of the students' lives but also to teach the importance of courteous behavior and the responsibility of accurate work. English instructors strive to give students an appreciation of literature as well as a mechanical knowledge of the English language. Since more and more emphasis is being placed on mathematics and science today, these departments endeavor to give students a broad base for future work in these fields. Making students more aware of changing history and how it affects them is the duty of the history department. Spanish and Latin, offered by the Language Department, will be valuable in communicating with other nations as the world grows ever smaller. The Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Commerce, and Agriculture depart- ments give practical training in skills which will aid in future vocations, while the Speech, Drama, Art, and Music departments encourage students to develop their abilities and perfect their talents in these fields. Though the subiects taught are many and varied, the faculty is united in its effort to prepare students for college and for success in adult life.
