Senior Banquet Few facets of American life hold more significance than the ability to understand, as well as to use, the English language. Often simply taken for granted, the ability to communicate ideas, ar.d to communicate them well, is the basis of society. Without a workable language system, a community has no real foundation. Thus, the English department is a major part of the whole of education, for it is from this one that the rest stem. As a sophomore, a student is exposed primarily to the appreciation of literary types. He may, as a junior, elect to take newswriting which includes the fundamentals of journalism in addition to the regular junior curriculum of American literature. World and English literature are offered to the senior; abler students may select the faster paced college-bound course. 'What do you moan, this class is an illusion?'' SEYMOUR YESNER: English.

Recognizing Our Part In the Expanding World In three year of social studies. North students were given the opportunity to see the world of the past, the present, and possibly that of the future. As a sophomore, a Polar was taught the history of the world. As a result he gained the knowledge of human and civilized progression in many parts of the world. American history was the main topic as a junior. He learned of the various people and events that made this country one of the strongest in the world today. To get a better understanding of the world's social and political changes, each Polar, as a senior, had a course in modern problems. In the course he had units on psychology, sociology, economics, political science and current events. Thi. book i. recommended by 11 my »tudent». MRS. HELEN IENGAS H-ifory. FacJfv Sociel Committee.
